    1. Re: [PTREE] earthquake
    2. Just my nerves Ha ha. Last night, about 11pm Joe had gone to bed and woke up thinking that I had come in and was jumping on the bed!! Now I know I like to keep things exciting around here but jumping on the bed at 11pm is not one I'd do. ha ha I noticed one 11x14 framed print was hanging slightly crooked. I was worried that the ceramic clock that I had made for my Mom and Dad years ago was going to fall off the shelf before I could get to it. We haven't found anything but the frame crooked, so far. My neighbor said they had the door open and it sounded like a freight train coming before they ever felt the shaking, she knew what it was when she heard it. She thought it might have done some damage to their upper level. and of course their earthquake insurance had been canceled earlier this year. Second story I've heard like that. Those boogers must have heard about these quakes coming and just canceled people in this area. Rotten!!!! I'd want my money back. The one after midnight the night before, way early the same day, woke me up feeling scared. I just assumed I had been dreaming of the mountain lions that I've been discussing lately. Ha We are on a major fault line. A major fault line about 70 miles south of here is tied in with that New Madrid fault line in MO that caused such major damage way way back. Here it is the Turner Falls Area in the Arbuckle Mountains. Going south to Dallas from OK City you pass right through it on I-35. You can see the rocks turned over sideways and in one area it looks like someone planted rows of rocks in the grass. but if you look, you can tell it is turned on it's side like in a Major Quake. I don't remember how much of that you can see from I-35 but the old Hwy 77 goes right through it. I have been doing a little research since earlier this year when I found out that a small town named Jones which is not too far NE of OKC has 20 or more quakes EACH month. or was the first part of 2011. My CA son has always laughed about the rest of the country falling off and leaving CA standing there. They say to expect more of them. Earlier this year we had a smaller quake centered just SE of Norman. it rattled the se corner of our house. I had never felt one like last night. starting out light and then it bounced slightly up and down and still rattled on for a minute. In a message dated 11/6/2011 9:54:10 A.M.

    3. Nova I'll bet you were scared! Back in the mid 1970's there was a minor quake that rattled Oxford MS. All the dishes started rattling and the house shaking. I thought our land lady was running in her side of the house to answer the phone! David was in the library when the stacks started swaying and books falling off. He said everyone ran outside. He came home :) Glad you are OK Jeannine Jeannine Kirkpatrick Smith On Sun, 6 Nov 2011, [email protected] wrote: > Just my nerves Ha ha.
