I mean like the GROUND daddio!
I was up this morning at 4:30 am (I usually arise early so I can contemplate and be tormented by apocalyptic visions) when the whole house started shaking.
Reports on the radio said it lasted from about 10-20 seconds--I wasn't counting. I just know it was a long time---too long.
I was just about to recover my bravado when, about45 minutes it started again--not as bad this time but never pleasant though an all the way live experience---can't no Screamin' Eagle compare to that.
Anybody else in the quake zone? |

The earthquake originated in New Salem, Illinois, so tremors were felt throughout the state which is on the New Madrid fault. I slept through it. I think this phenomenon of nature, which is rare for these parts, is a sign. Of what I don't know. But Obama is the senator from Illinois.  |

5.2? Yeah, that’s enough to wake up a few folks. I used to find earthquakes kind of fun. It’s a funny feeling – shaking and wobbling around with no control. But when I became a homeowner it wasn’t so fun anymore. When we had the somewhat more than midsized one in 1996 [or was it ’97?] I was terrified my little house would come crumbling down any second. Not Fun! Just recently they reminded us that we are overdue for the “big one” and should expect it w/in the next 30 years. Maybe even today!!! |

Ha ha ha LOL ! Good one !
5.2 is a sizable earthquake...but here in Southern California, it's just a head turner. Now when it starts to get higher like 5.5 and up. That's an earthquake. LOL ! |

Yeah boy.
When it first started I thought it was funny. Then it kept on. Then I was wishing it would stop. And it wouldn't stop.
Run to the rock and the rock won't hide you--
We are overdue for a real big one (8.0 plus on the Richter scale) all the geologists can tell us is "It's comin')
Maybe we shouldn't be reading any continued stories.... |

While out and about enjoying the temperate April weather this evening, I couldn't help but notice how big and red the moon appeared. It gradually turned gold but it was still verrrry eerie. I resisted the urge to howl at it, but I cannot shake the idea that these rare occurrences are sign of something... Woooooooooo. |
