One time, right after our half hour dinner break at the auto/truck/lawn
mower/MG auto battery factory where I used to work in
Florence,Mississippi,,,, I said, Shake it baby, dont break it, wrap it
up and I will take it.

She backed up about two steps, said,,,
What did you say,Larry?

I get those on my SMS phone. Just SoCal. That's plenty. Do you get
alerts for the whole USA?

I do get them for the whole USA (and world) but I'll have to go look at what my
defaults are as far as magnitude are.

I remember the 1968 quake on the Wabash Fault. I was at my grandparents home in
Ft. Wayne, Indiana at the time.

Everyplace has its problems like violent weather, earthquakes, fires.
You make your choice and live with it.

That was a magnitude 5.2

Anyone besides me find it odd that when the news broke, the only
picture any of the news stations in the Chicago area could come up
with was fallen bricks off a building in Louisville KY some - oh - 200
miles from the epicenter.?? I kept waiting for some station to at the
very least go down to Mt. Vernon IL and take some pics, but there was
nothing. Also, I guess not much happened in West Salem - no real
calamity.
But that fault line is bad. I find it so interesting that everybody
talks so much about California - and very little gets said about the
NEW MADRID fault line which is supposed to be far more dangerous.

Anyone have any good news articles on this quake?? Still trying to
look up the Mt. Vernon Register. I'm fairly certain Bone Gap doesn't
have a media outlet.

WLS radio and at least their ABC 7 outlet had sent some folks down to that area.
Apparantly quite rural.

As far as I know the damage in Louisville was really the only big news heard even
here. Quite lucky I suppose.
