[IBL] First thing in the morning...

[Santa Fe Prairie Dogs]

Had another owner ask how OK was treating me. Answer: it ain't New Mexico.

Besides the funny winds in the spring (tornadoes), I get shaken awake -
literally - this morning by an earthquake centered in the north-central part of
the state, near Pawnee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pawnee,_Oklahoma .
Geologists say it was a shallow one (about 30-35 miles deep), magnitude 5.6 at
the source. The link is to the town's Wikipedia page, and it has already been
updated to mention this morning's quake.

All I know is the sofa shook, I heard a rumbling for 1 to 2 seconds, and even
the cats were looking around to see what the noise was. Looked at the ceiling
light over the dining room table, and it had about a 2' arc to its swing.That
was after the tremblor subsided. Chances are Mike Neff felt this one. Happened
just after 7 AM Central time. You folks out in California probably have a good
idea what it felt like.

No damage I can tell, but definitely an experience.
