I scrambled to get out of the hammock- the Pacific Northwest is due for a major earthquake and the question "Is this the big one?" runs through one's mind. The epicenter was actually just NE of Dewatto Bay on Hood Canal- Belfair is the biggest town near there. I perceived shaking rather than rolling motion but hard to tell because it was so short. I have lived in earthquake zones most of my life so have experienced them a number of times.
You might see if you can rent the movie, L.A. story. When I lived in Huntington Beach for a while, I was new to California. There would be these ... rumbles ... and everyone would just go about their business. There's a scene in L.A. Story where such an event happens at a restaurant. But Hood Canal - That's a different - should I say it - kettle of fish.
I've been through a relatively small quake while hanging in my hammock in my bedroom. I heard it long before I felt it, but the very mild shaking only last a few seconds. I live in SW Mo and we rarely have quakes. My guess is fracking, but don't know, or really care....
So, this wasn't the BIG one...yet. Glad you survived to tell us about it.
Felt a number of them through the years in MT and WY. Most were like a big truck rumbling by. The weirdest one was while working as a carpenter remodeling on the fourth floor of a old stone historic building in Helena, MT. We happened to be looking out the window at the bank building across the street when it seemed that the bank sort of wobbled a bit.
It was February 3rd and apparently has been downgraded to a 3.7 based in Redway California quite a bit farther north than you;<) but we have so many I lose track. My family back East who lives in Tornado Alley thinks we're crazy for living in California because of the earthquakes LOL
The funny part is according to several new studies they're part of the country may be prone to even bigger and more damaging earthquakes than the West Coast, just not as often, but considering the population density is bigger they have the potential to cause more monetary damage and death. Hope they're in a hammock when it hits so they can snooze them.:<)

By all means, let's argue about whether or not a hammock will hurt a tree. All the while ignoring the fact that there is an island of garbage the size of Texas floating in the Pacific ocean. Or how about the fact that over 75% of the world's nuclear reactors are leaking...
Had a 7 something on the Queen Charlotte Islands a couple yrs ago and it rumbled through the hood in Terrace BC and one could literally feel the waves roll through just like being in light surf....GF was freakin but I was just soaking up the ride woooohoooo. Lasted for a good bit too.
Before that all I have felt is some 4 somethings quakes in the Toronto area which equate to thunder from the ground.
Life is too Short to not feed the addiction....Hang on and explore the World
