Quaker-Shaker

earthquake-jakara-artAs speaking this morning how I constantly check the USGS earthquake map — about an hour ago, a 5.5 shaker, about 180 miles west of where I’m sitting on my ass, but didn’t feel a thing.
And this latest wasn’t that deep, according to its USGS summary, only a bit more than six miles down.
Earthquakes are so weirdly-frightful.

And as of right now approaching near-dark, no local news of the quake.
