Oh there was an earthquake! This was the missing piece, in my mind. That makes the Zeta's explaination perfect!

You have a saying - if a tree falls in the forest and there is no
one there to hear it, does it make a sound? Likewise, the remote
Tunguska forest area, where the population was close to nil, and
where earthquakes were not considered a constant danger as those
living on the Pacific Rim do, would NOT have earthquake measuring
stations all around! Imagine the permafrost layer, a few feet
thick spread out over the tundra, an essentially flat area. What
does it take to snap a pane of glass clear through? In fact, when
a flat piece is put under stress in that manner, a snap across
the face of it is the MOST COMMON FRACTURE. Above the dome of
permafrost, air. Below the dome of permafrost, methane gas. This
would snap like a pane of glass should torsion stress be put upon
it.
In addition, earthquakes do not happen, EVER, singularly.
Anyone who deals with them knows that. Everyone who deals with
them knows that. You have fore shocks, after shocks, and
earthquakes themselves generally occur is clusters. Fore shocks
are not as great as the major shock, which happens usually in the
middle of the event. Thus, a fore shock might pass notice, where
the major shock was registered. However, as certain as the sun
rising - if there was a major shock, there WERE fore shocks.
Always are.
