Silverpeak (52.5 km SSE of epicenter) [Map] / Very weak shaking (MMI II) : I can't tell the difference between an aftershock or mountains that seem to be settling or moving rocks. It is loud popping sounds. Sometimes my yard rocking chair starts rocking me as I sit outside but I find no reports from you. I'm on bedrock. My neighbors down on the plya rock and roll frequently with mirrored doors an dresser ring knobs banging. (reported through our app)
