Living on Shaky Ground

As a wee one I lived in Coalinga, California, which had a big quake in 1983. long after my family moved.

Funny thing is that the only time I remember having been in an earthquake (if it deserved the word) was when we lived in Urbana, Illinois! It felt like a big truck drove past as I stood, I think, in the kitchen.
 
Still aftershocks after the big one, was what? Ten or twelve days ago?

Not to be confused with The Big One; which we still haven't had for a few hundred years.

Slept blissfully through the M 5.4, Saturday at 11: 22 PM. Not especially nearby. Those what did feel it report more annoyance than fright.

The near local M 4.4, at supper time this evening caused a couple of raised eyebrows in the Alex household. "Yeah, I noticed."

Always that moment of wondering whether it's coming stronger or done and fading.

And now, this on-going brouhaha is growing a bit tiresome.
