Another feelable earthquake

There was another feelable earthquake on Dec. 12, at 9:37 pm :) I heard and felt it, but when I looked at the seismic rocords it was so small I thought I was just imagining it. I found out latter that others had felt it. We finnaly got a good location on it. It was a Magnitude 0.93 and occured directly under Socorro at a depth of only 2.1 km. That is wy it was possible to feel it. That has got to be one of the smallest, if not the smallest earthquake ever felt. Compare the trace below to the other trace farther down the page to see the difference in size.
