Good evening, fellow quakers...

Yep, 3.9 near Yucaipa, CA, if memory serves.
Yes.
We'll deliver one to your new home and tell all the neighbors it's YOUR housewarming gift to them! :)
Just had one on land, 3.9 south of Eureka about 40 miles
I think that was a 4.9 in SC today.
Correction, that was 4.9 in Yucaipa. (reminder to self, proof, then post :-)
Correct.
YES, my parting gift. I'm so very kind and considerate.
These quakes are unsettling.
After the Northridge quake, my family jumps when a truck hits a speed bump too fast.
No no no! You didn't read that right.
WE are delivering one to your NEW home. For your NEW neighbors.
A microearthquake occurred at 11:39:17 PM (PDT) on Thursday, June 16, 2005.

Didn't feel that one. Petrolia is about 30 miles south of me. Only a couple of marijuana growers and about 10 cows on that hill. (OK, 10 marijuana growers and 2 cows)
A 10 would pretty cool to see too!
Oh NO, that won;t due. They'd not like that at all.
Indeed, and I do NOT want to miss it.
ROFL!! Look at it this way, you may be moved to Montana when it happens!
