The earth moved . . .

and I didn't even notice!

Apparently Kansas had a 4.8 earthquake yesterday afternoon, centered about 150 miles from here. My brother and nephew noticed their chairs shaking at home, but I was in a store and never noticed a thing!

Gee, I just thought it was something I ate for lunch....

Patti,
If the earth moved for you; I would have HOPED that it would at least make you "curl your toes" up a bit...

Patti,

I am not suprised that you did not notice - after all you were shopping. :roflblack:

Shaking

Largest in your area, in the past 140 years.

You get different effects from "shakers" depending on where you are. A solidly built supermarket is going to mask a lot of the effect. At home--you probably would have felt 4.8.

Thankfully, most come and go pretty fast--just a few seconds to notice.

Glad to hear no damage or problems.

My cousin in Wichita (about 30 miles from the epicenter) said someone's basketball hoop stand fell over. There was some building damage closer to the center.

When I lived in the St. Louis area there was a 3.8 quake in southern Illinois while I was at home in my living room. I heard what sounded like the crack of a rifle shot down the street and then my windows rattled for about 10 minutes. It was weird.

I'd have preferred the earth moving because of some activity that would make my toes curl, Bob.

I wasn't thinking of toe cramps... :shocked: Were you? :roflblack:
