By extrapolating http://jclahr.com/science/psn/magnitude.html we
should expect about 2 cm (!) ground movement at this distance, but I
expect that this would be longer periods than what my Lehman was
designed for.
While my observation might be plausible I'm actually more impressed
with what I saw on my 4.5 Hz geophones. Here's what I get if I apply
a 1 Hz lowpass filter to the N-S geophone:

And here's the raw unfiltered seismometer plot:

It's badly clipped, so it's less useful to study.
