Another Earthquake

[1972Shocker]

USGS reporting it initially as a 3.9. So not quite your big one. But will see if that changes. I hope that was the big one. It was big enough for my tastes.

KGS has it on their website now. They report as a 4.0 so it does arguably qualify for @WuDrWu's big one. Let's hope enough energy has been released to calm things down for a while.

USGS had it located on the east edge of Charles Koch's 160 acre homestead. KGS has it located just east of the north end of the Beech Factory Airstrip in the 13th and Rock Road ares. So roughly a miles difference.

Not sure how accurate these locations are but I usually go with the KGS based on interview I have seen with retired Wichita State geology professor who relies more on the KGS reporting as they have more measurement stations around the state. However, the USGS reports the depth and I have seen that yet on the KGS web site.

You were still talking about the earthquake right?

I didn't sense anything in Goddard.

THAT was a jolt!

And there it is

You might be right. Biggest one I have felt and sounded like a bomb going off.

It certainly solicited a Holy $hit! from where I was located near 13th and Webb.

According to the Kansas Geological Survey that would be #5 today. They are reporting:

6:29:40 AM 3.5 Magnitude (13th & Greenwich)
6:31:33 AM 3.7 Magnitude (13th & Webb Road - Whole Foods)
7:02:15 AM 3.2 Magnitude (SE Corner of Wichita Country Club - 1/2 mile E of Rock and 1/2 mile S of 13th) .
8:30:48 AM 2.2 Magnitude (13th Street - 0.25 W of Greenwich) I did not feel this one.
6:08:32 PM 3.9 Magnitude per USGS - USGS has it on the E edge of Charles Koch homestead.

The KGS site is really slow. May be inundated with traffic.

The USGS has all of these quakes at a depth of 5.0 km (3.1 miles)

I felt it!!!

Sounds like a problems to "Ask Hank" to get to the bottom off:

Oooohhhh. THIS Hank. On October 5, 2014 The Washingtonian published their 15th biennial "Best & Worst of Congress" list. Rep. Johnson was voted "Worst Speaker" and "Most Clueless" by congressional staffers.

I don't know about that. The epicenter of the quakes are at a depth of around 5 km (3.1 miles). That's a long way for the water to travel.
