Aiiiieeeee!
Alice is in Sturgis!!!
He played Aug. 6...he’s already gone.
*Whew!*
Mountanous enough however — colliding or slipping subcontinental masses are certainly still possible.
What is the meaning of the “M”? Does that qualify the quake as opposed to just “3.4”?
No, the Wilson Basin that the Bakken is part of goes that far south but the Bakken oil field does not reach to the South Dakota Border.

You had me scared there for a minute.
In California, no one even notices a 3.4 earthquake. ;-D
Yep, those quakes back in the late 70s sent a pretty good ground wave up through Minot that affected the entire wing, I was at I01 for one of them. In the early 80s I experienced windows rattling at our house in Bellevue NE from at least one quake elsewhere and the Humbolt fault which runs up through parts of NE has given us a couple of pretty good rattles over the last 20 years.
