This is not really weather per se, but still a geoscience so why not. The last couple of nights I've been woken up by small earthquakes. The cluster has in the range of 2.5-3.6, so nothing really big or dangerous, just enough to feel like somebody's shaking/kicked your bed. But I'm only a couple of kilometers away from the epicenters -- and only ten or so kilometers from the hypocenter, so it's still a bit of a jolt.
It's actually kinda funny looking at the map, one of the epicenters is in the dead center of downtown, another is at the end of the pier, and one is in the middle of my old middle school. Oh, and one at a taco shop. Would be less funny if anyone got injured, but now it's just at annoyance level.
