I think someone needs to teach that earthquake a lesson.

That was a pretty decent rumbler about 5 minutes ago. Anyone feel it outside east Wichita?

Anyone in ICT feel the mini shake a few minutes ago?

[shoxlax]

Well Doc two of us did!

Felt like a wake from a boat, only I was sitting in an office chair, in a building, and on land. It was short (I only felt the one wave), but it was the strongest amplitude (if you will) of any earthquake I've felt in KS thus far.

I've been at my desk in my office for 3 previous shakes and never felt one. This one I felt.

2nd quake of the day near Cresent, Ok. 4.5 magnitude.

Per the USGS, it was a 4.5 centered down in Crescent, Oklahoma, at about 1:12. They also are listing one today in the same place at 12:49.

I keep considering moving to Seattle to be near the wife's family. This is making us strongly reconsider. Frightening.

Finally got around to this thread and yes I felt it as well. Live near Central and Rock and it was a pretty good little thunp.

I wouldn't worry about it. Go!

There are also studies out there talking about how volcanic activity under Yellowstone with essentially destroy the western half of mainland US at some point, but that's not stopping population growth in that same footprint.
