Earthquakes, again.

Yea, just as I was drifting off to sleep last night we had a 'swarm' of quakes, really only felt and heard the big one (4.4) but it's hard to just let yourself fall asleep after such an event. Every time a car would come by I thought 'here it comes'!

RENO, NV - Northern Nevada was hit with several small earthquakes Tuesday night.

The activity started December 22, 2015 at 10:18PM with a 1.3 magnitude quake north of Galena High School, south of Reno-Tahoe International Airport and southeast of downtown Reno. That was followed by magnitude 1.9, 3.2, 3.0, 4.4, 3.4 and 2.4 quakes all in the same area within about 45 minutes.

I saw that on the news this morning, I hope it's over

Wow, that must be scary. I live in such a benign part of the world (no earthquakes, no volcanoes etc), I can't imagine what it must be like to have the risk of such big natural disasters on your mind.

Our daughter and family lived in NZ for 10 years. Son-in-law was a fireman; he volunteered for the clean-up after the series of strong quakes that leveled CHCH. The loss of property (and lives) was horrendous! They moved back here three years ago, they had had enough.

They can be horrible disasters, I hope ours stay on the low side of 4. It's the rumbling sound that scares me now, the bed bucking is kinda fun!
