Who felt the earthquake?

Its all about construction. In the early 90’s our little town was the epicenter
of a 6.1—the size of quake that kills thousands in third world countries. The
houses on either side of us jumped off their foundations. It was interesting,
to say the least, watching the piano jump and jitter clear accross the room
during the temblor. On our block all of the masonry chimneys came down. We
couldnt understand why ours didnt. My H climbed the roof and just lightly
touched the brick–and the whole thing swayed! All of the mortar had turned
to sand and just by the grace of God, it stood there seemingly of its own
volition.
