Cherri, did you feel that earthquake. I did, but it was kinda strange. I could only feel it for about 8 seconds, but it moved. I mean it felt like the ground was moving, not shaking. I'm glad it didn't last long.

Nebraska is boring and flood prone and tornado prone and blizzard prone but at least we are on solid ground and it is relatively cheap. I always buy "value".

It is more fun here. You get to surf on dry ground.

Dr. Pibb,

That is what as known as a rolling motion. It usually feels that way when you are not in the area directly above the epicenter, because the shock waves are moving horizontally across your location. Those at the epicenter feel more shaking because the waves are coming up vertically from underneath them.
