I grew up in Los Angeles. Earthquakes were commonplace.
I do have a stange earthquake tale.
One winter I was out ice skating on a very large lake that was only partially frozen-over. I put my ear to the ice. What I heard was a very strange reverberating echo that almost sounded like a saw harp or a musical saw, like what this guy is playing:
Fast forward to Mount Morrison many years later.
I was sleeping on the ground (no pad) one night when there must have been 30 or 40 earthquakes. I put my ear to ground.
What I heard was exactly the same sound that I heard out on the ice.
