[IBL] First thing in the morning...

Whoa! Glad you're ok. Had my share in SanFrancisco, and get even more here in Japan. But our buildings are built for earthquakes.
Hope nothing else follows up there.

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.
