41. it seems the earth's crust is unusually resonant here...
... which is why seismic events can be felt over great distances, even if the quakes themselves are nothing special Richter scale-wise.

When that biggest earthquake of 2006 (4.2!) hit, I had that same "feeling of sound", but it didn't make me particularly uneasy at the time. Actually, it produced a sort of euphoria. It was spellbinding.

I only became uneasy later when I started worrying about the potential for bigger earthquakes.
