We just had a 4.4 earthquake. That was exciting. We're not in whackyland, it's Oklahoma, but it was exciting. Anybody else feel it? | ||

I didn't feel a thing. Of course, I'm in Colorado.  I would like to feel one sometime as long as it doesn't damage my house. | |||

I found there are four phases of earthquake realization. With the first few shakes you wonder if this an earthquake. A few more shakes you know it is an earthquake. When it keeps shaking you wonder "is this the BIG one". I have never been through the fourth phase where you no longer have to wonder if CA just fell into the Pacific as you reach for your snorkel gear.  "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

Don't count on that...We had a 3.8 here some years back and strange cracks started appearing. We're on a slab (1st floor apartment), a crack started and now is like a low curb in the living room. Landlord doesn't care. The problem? I did a couple Radon tests, the second one showed a 4.0 which is the basic reading for which they recommend remediation, and he still doesn't care. I know the risks are still small and eventually we'll GTFO, but thank God we don't own the place! -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

We had a 5.8 quake the 6th of July that shook us for about THIRTY seconds. Five minutes later a quick 4.4 shake, then a series of aftershocks in the 2.5-3.0 area off and on for several hours. It IS a strange sensation isn't it? I was surprised by the NOISE it made. | |||

I didn't feel it here in ICT. But, take that with a grain of salt. Of all the ones we've had in the past few years, I've only felt 2 or 3 while others have felt more.

Delusions of Adequacy |
when we had ours a few years ago, my first thought was, what the HELL did they just blow up at Quantico? I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

That was a pretty stout one, Gene. I live in Edmond, which is 3.4 miles from the center. Pretty crazy. -wolff "In the absence of light, darkness prevails." - Professor Bruttenholm | |||

We had a pretty small one here in CT a couple years ago. It was very weird to feel the building at work vibrating and swaying a bit. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

Slept right thru it. Didn't know we had one until everyone at work was talking about it the next morning. I have a few SIGs. | |||

Had a 5.4 hit at 5:30am in Columbus IN, back in 2008... That may not be much for CA folks, but I can assure you, it gets your attention in the Midwest. Was selling a home at the time, and very glad no damage occurred. ______________________________ Nitro smoke rewards a long days toil... | |||
