Lava rock washes ashore on West Coast

(**Hey all, I edited my previous post — just to give a heads’ up)

Dutchsinse had a reader send in something she thought was Lava rock washing up on the West coast…and lo and behold, it is!!

Also, there was a small earthquake in, depending on who you believe, Kentucky or Ohio early this morning.  I’m pretty sure that I felt it, but the time is off.  I felt it around 7 a.m. EST, but they are putting the time around midnight.  So did I feel a second one that USGS is not reporting?  Was it a ripple through the plate?  If what I felt is from the Kentucky/Ohio quake, then the latter doesn’t make sense to me because of the red arrows on Dutch’s map….BUT if what I felt was from an unreported quake, in say, Colorado, that went across, as it did to Delaware, then yes, I might have felt it from that direction, which makes more sense.

If any of you are in the New Madrid fault zone, please leave a comment that you felt it or not, the time, and anything you observed.
