    I heard and felt it. I live up the Entiat River Road. It felt and sounded like a huge, overloaded truck went rumbling by my house, and then it sounded like it crashed. My big dog heard it and was barking and looking through the front window, very alarmed. I was sitting down when I felt the house/ground shaking. No damage to the house at all, nothing moved on shelves or walls. They often feel and sound the same..
