Glad you are OK.
Review LIP of rim..closest part to tire.
I went through a similar experience way over 20 years ago.
Bent lip of front and rear rim.
It was not that visible looking from side or front but it was visible when looking at rim and tire meeting point from an angle when wheel was rotated.
Unusual if it did not bend lip of rim.

I was cutting to the front of a big line of traffic and got really lucky I didn’t wipe out!
As I was getting ready to jump back in line I was still off to the left side of the yellow line and hit a deep pot hole that had a steep 8-10” lip on the outside of it.
At around 45 mph it kicked my front end up 2-3’ in the air and when the back tire hit it slammed the front down pretty hard and the back felt like it was about 5’ up while was starring at pavement. It all happened really fast and basically felt like horse trying to buck me off.
I ended up okay as well as the bike... I gave the bike a really good look when I got home and everything appears to be good.
Be careful and alert when trying to get around traffic...

Welp, be careful, I guess.

Thanks... Looked close already and will continue to monitor. No vibration and still tracking well on sweepers.
