This is a blog I've never blogged before.

That was a fun earthquake, eh?

5.9 is nothing to sneeze at! Even here in California that would merit a bit more than a lifted eyebrow (anything 5.0 on down is a wake-up call).

I'm worried about the architecture back there - bricks and such, not designed to deal with seismic activity.

Yeah, it is a little odd...not something we think about out there.

Yesterday, CO had it's biggest recorded quake in 40 years (5.3). But no one cares because it was down in some podunk truckstop. And most Coloradans are like, "Wait, we have earthquakes? Ain't that a hoot!"

(We do have pretty regular earthquakes that are 3.0 and lower, but one you can feel is just weird).

LOL. It was my first one!

Oh my goodness, are you ok? [is worried]

[beizy]

Yeah. :) It was just a tiny shake here.

I am so very happy to hear that!

Living in a country that has never (in the recorded history that is) had a quake bigger that 4,9 it's difficult to imagine what these things feel like. Glad to hear that you're okay (and from what I've read in the news the damage isn't too bad either?)

I don't think so, no. Some minor structural stuff from what I read.
