We've been shaking here in Oklahoma a little the last couple of years , we had about a 4.2 the other day , not as big as yours but big enough for us to get called out to check the bridges on the turnpike , gives the news something to talk about also .

We had one years ago that struck while I was in the parking lot in front of the local indoor range. They said the quake barely registered on the Richter scale. Where I was standing the shaking was so intense it was hard to stay on my feet, cool and scary at the same time.

I was a kid living in Southern California during the Sylmar Quake and faintly remember it. Then I was living in L.A., Hollywood actually, during the Northridge Earthquake. You grow up in Southern California with the news specials always running series like "The Big One: What Will It Do?" And they were predicting casualties and destruction on the scale as if waves of Soviet Bear bombers carpet-bombed L.A. There was even a 1970s Irwin Allen disaster movie titled "Earthquake" that had all of L.A. in ruins and casualties all over the place. So when the Northridge Quake hit, I was like, well, this is it, this is the Big One, I'm gone.

I guess I can complain too much about the near-constant wind up here in Monument Valley, AZ. At least it ain't an earthquake.
