| Name | Elizabeth D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was like dialing a blue light dimmer switch up, happened over 2-3 seconds. I looked up and out the windshield (I was driving) and saw an extremely bright blue streak of light, kind of like a firework trailing down, but VERY fast. It looked like it was coming down RIGHT on top of us. Was very startling. The kids were watching a movie in the back, so I did not hear a boom. But I opened my kitchen window blind this morning and the window is cracked. Very strange considering there is nothing around this window, and nothing fell into it. I wonder if the 2.0 quake caused the window to crack. |
