Whole lot of shaking going on
« on: March 20, 2020, 09:37:21 PM »
At 6:33pm we had a 5.0 earthquake hit with the epicenter about 7-8 miles north of us just south of Carson City. I had just taken the dog outside and was standing in front of the garage when I heard the garage door making noise like it was closing and then a good jolt. The house and shop were creaking and it continued just for a few seconds so I had no idea it was a close one. No damage in the house or shop as it didn't last long. Best one we've felt in a couple of years.

Now they have downgraded it to a 4.5 quake.

You get used to it.  The small shakers here cause tbe volcano to vent.  An oft venting volcano means a postponed eruption.

Keep shaking it mother earth.

At 4:03 this morning a 6.5 shaker about 120 miles away woke us up. It just kept going and going as at this distance the wave just keeps rolling through.

You better shelter in place indefinitely.  No telling when one of those earthquakes will kill you!   :))

Yeah, better put a mask on the front door of the house and paint the driveway with sanitizer so you stay safe!  :lol_hitting:

I'm sure any jackrabbit or coyote deaths will be listed as Covid-19 caused. ::)

I was wondering how it affected you. Glad it seems things are good on your end.
People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.

This a precursor, an omen, I have to change my pool date, for when California, slides into the ocean and Area  51 has a beach. ............
