Chalan Pago, Guam. One quick jolt lasting a second or two as I prepared food while standing in the kitchen. I wasn’t sure at first and thought maybe I had simply lost my balance for a second. But I did hear a noise as it traveled through the house. Both cats got spooked and hid. I figured it was a 5.5 to 6.0 at the time it occurred. I was right! 😀
