Just wondering if anyone else felt the earthquake last night?
It was only 2.2, but my bed was shaking and I heard it loud enough...

Although it was after mid-night, and therefore September 9, because of how late this one was on UT, full moon in Korea actually is September 9, and not 8.

So, we had a full moon earthquake it Korea. I did not feel it, but I sure did several years ago when there was the one in Fukuoka, Japan. I thought it was in Kwangju.

Are the two connected?. I dont mean to sound sarcastic or anything, but I cant see the connection? Confused

Apparently the quakes are caused by all the new dams they've built.

All I did was just to answer your question (I see I am still the only one to do so) and added what IMHO were a couple of interesting facts. Crying or Very sad

Ok, no offense intended. I just thought there may have been some correlation and was interested.
