early this morning but we all slept right through it! About 3am a 4.8 quake hit, centered NW of us and about 40 miles away. It was about 30 miles under the surface. An aftershock of 2.9 came 2 hours later. Didn't feel that either! No damage reported. I did my standard walk around the house and found 1 crooked picture but it was probably already that way! I guess it did wake up some people.

iVillage wouldn't let me on the boards earlier this morning. Kept saying they couldn't be found.

Anyway happy Friday to all. I haven't read the board yet. Saw a bumper sticker this morning that amused me. "Retirement-Twice As Much Husband For Half As Much Money" Off to read the board. KaCee

Poof!!! I'm gone!!

Hi, Kacee. Glad it was so that you could sleep through it. Do you ever have strong quakes there?

Hi Bren, we do have them. On Feb 28,2001 we had a 6.8, 410 injuries and about $2 billion in damages. In the early 60's when I was in the 7th grade we had a major quake. About 6.5 but much nearer to the surface than the one in 2001 and it did much more extensive damage. Can't find numbers on it.Yes, we rock and roll out here! KaCee

Glad the earthquake wasn't strong enough to do damage. That bumper sticker is a good one. Sooo true. LOL--Pat

Glad to hear it wasn't just me having problems with IV. I could read posts but not post. I kept getting the "Server Not Found" message. I wish I could sleep through a tornado; I wake up if a cat walks near my window. Kathey

Hi Kacee. Well, if you can sleep through an earthquake it can't be that bad. glad it wasn't that serious. Never been through one of them. Thank goodness. Been through the tornado and hurricanes. Hope you had a good day. This working makes my Board time limited, so I feel like I'm out of the loop. HAGE!!! Hugs Lynda
