That’s nothing. Just wait until tomorrow night when it gets with a firey piece of space junk. Insurance paid up?

LOL! That’s exactly what I was thinking! With my luck that dang thing would crash in my garage and insurance wouldn’t pay!

If it lands in my yard I'm keeping it. I'll scrap it out.

I’m praying the same thing, don’t wanna see that area of the states to really start shaking. I live in Indiana and we’ve had some tremors here the last couple of years.

I saw 1 1/4” long crickets bolting along out in the open today where ever I went. “Wow, that’s odd” thinks I “I wonder if theres an earthquake coming?”

Well, I’m in New York but they were very big long range looking crickets.

Is it me or have there been a lot of earthquakes lately. Probably the statist bull@$%t is piling up so deep it’s putting strain on the Earth’s crust.

It's still active around there. The question is whether they are aftershocks or indicative of a future big one.

Many small ones are a lot better than a long, quiet windup to a Richter 8.
