Detect Quakes With “Raspberry Shakes”

It wasn’t until I heard the news reports later that I realized the vibration that had awakened me at 6 a.m. was, in fact, a small earthquake. Many earthquakes have since vibrated the ground beneath my feet. It’s just that those vibrations, having traveled long distances through the Earth, have (thankfully) been too small to feel.
