Excitement in the AM (OT)
There was, apparently, and earthquake this morning. According to USGS,
it was 5.4, centered in Illinois (NW of Evansville, IN, and SW of Vincennes, IN), was felt as far away as St. Louis, MO! All we felt was the floor shake, as if a very heavy truck drove past the house (or some young idiot with a boom-car). http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/...39.-89.-87.php -- ^..^ This is Kitty. Copy and paste Kitty into your signature to help her wipe out Bunny's world domination. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

Nancy was late leaving for work today because of that quake. She had to spend some time looking for USGS info on the quake so she could put a story about it up on the newspaper website and get a story ready for the print edition. It figures. I leave CA, and the earthquakes follow me. I'm just glad nobody was hurt. Dan |

That seismic area is huge, but you rarely hear about it in comparison with the west coast. We have tiny little quakes here, occasionally. They're barely noticeable, but it's a fallacy that there's no seismic activity here in the northeast. -- Theresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh |

That's a reasonably good sized quake, especially for an area that seldom has
them. The way you felt it is the way I feel most of ours, if they're over 4.5 or so. I don't usually feel anything smaller. Once every 20 years or so, we get one that makes you sit up (or fall down) and take notice. -- Joy (in Southern California) My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.
