Earth quake in Oklahoma

And expecting severe weather in Tx/Ok for Monday/Tuesday. Late season storms. Seems OK has been in the news a lot this year.

An RV is a great place to be in an earthquake, it is built to bounce around. Anyway I am amazed at the hype and level of reporting over what us West Coast people think of as a small earthquake, a 5.6. Reports are that any injuries were minor.

Terry here in Oklahoma City.

The last two earthquakes in this area were early saturday morning around 2:00-3:00am and the second around 10:53pm. I was sitting on the commode when the first one occurred and thinking that it was the wind, I decided to check to see how level the coach was during daylight and perhaps adjust the Level-Up cylinders for better stabilizing.

Imagine my surprise to get an e-mail from a friend as to how we were after the earthquake. I hadn't watched or read any news yesterday to even know. I checked the online local news to discover that it was an earthquake that was shaking us instead of wind.

Then later that evening, we were hit with the second one which lasted a lot longer. Long enough that my stomach began to feel a bit queazy. As Bill said, they really weren't very strong ones, so no one has reported any injuries, even at the epicenters which were about 45 miles away from Oklahoma City.

If you are interested in a slight chuckle and a perspective on living in Oklahoma, check out my blog posting for yesterday.

This Just Isn't Natural.

By the way. Thanks very much for the concern with our safety. It is greatly appreciated. However, we Okies have learned well how to deal with adversity, so there isn't too much that really sets us back.

We are in Coffeyville, Kansas about an hour north of Tulsa, Oklahoma. We did not feel the first quake early Saturday morning. On Saturday afternoon, we drove to Bella Vista, Arkansas to visit some friends. We felt the second quake in Arkansas. It felt like someone was jumping up on the roof. A strange feeling. We're now back in Kansas where our local channels are from Tulsa. There were lots of stories on the news last night about the earthquake. No news of anyone getting hurt, but there were people who had some damage to their homes.

Weather here in Coffeyville certainly is interesting... Tornados, earthquakes... who knew. I've traveled all over the world and had to come to Coffeyville, Kansas to experience my first earthquake. Johnny thought I was playing with the wii or something in the rv...
