'Kay, done with this now.

Another earthquake. This one strong enough to scare the cats and briefly scare the crap out of me. Rattled the pictures on the walls and the windows and all the cabinets, nearly shook stuff off the mantel. The whole place was shuddering, and you could hear it in the ground, like wind. Lasted about a minute, about a 5.2 according to the news

I'd plan on staying up for a while as y'all seem to have a swarm of quakes going on.
This also a good time to evaluate emergency supplies and have fresh batteries...

Wait, not for those! I mean for flashlights!

And upgraded to a 5.6 now!

Yeah, there's a lot of little blue squares If they're swarming, something's letting off pressure, and if it's letting off pressure, that's GOOD. Still, I'm digging my go-bag out of the closet and putting it by the door!

We'll be up until well past dawn anyway, so no worries there.

5.6; Jesus.

Hang in there kiddo, I'll be up around if you need to natter at someone.

I MEANT to say, yeah, there's a lot of little blue squares on the USGS website just north of Shawnee, which makes it about 80-90 miles from here.

We could hear it coming before we felt it. The sound was traveling faster through the air than the vibrations through the ground. *shudder*
