Earthquake just a few minutes ago, and according to the USGS, the shaker, located south of Lone Pine, California, registered a 5.8 on the Richter Scale. I was lying on my bed surfing the InterWebs on my iPad when I felt a couple of ‘ripples,’ a physical impossibility without some external, weird help, and I…
Felt the shift, a gentle shudder as I had just sat down in front of my laptop — the reaches here off a decent-sized earthquake northwest of Ferndale, and about 65 miles southwest from where my ass had plunked down.
