  Hi All,

  I remember when I lived in Alaska and became introduced to =
earthquakes.  Several of us would talk about how we never seemed to be =
awakened by a quake.  It seemed we always would wake up and then the =
shaking would begin.  I don't recall any such feeling for awake time =
quakes but while sleeping there seemed to be something early enough to =
feel awake first.  It wasn't a special feeling like here comes a quake =
but clearly awake enough to be aware of waking first.  Has anyone else =
experienced something like that?  I've always attibuted it to the P =
wave.  It would have been fun to have a seismograph back then to =
correlate timing.=20
