EARTHQUAKE!!!

At 0404. Barely noticeable. Might not have noticed if we hadn't been lying in bed. (Now we'll never get to sleep.) We can only hope that it was much worse somewhere else.

Death & Destruction Editor Advises:

Only feel guilty if we do get those 3x aftershocks. Which would be a 12M, & never experienced/recorded by mankind before!

Remember those two fairly big but not destructive ones, sometime in the (later?) '90s, that were almost exactly 24 hrs. apart, around two or three a.m.?

Ho Hum, Back To Bed Ed. Sez:

Doubt this one would even have brought us out of our slumber had we been "out."
