Earthquake!

Saturday night, right after my beloved 'Cats lost a thriller to Oklahoma State, I was sitting on the couch, catching the news. Suddenly, the couch began to shake, the lampshade was wiggling, and the plant leaves were shaking. Don came out of the bedroom, and we both decided we had experienced our first earthquake. That, or it was all of those Okies breathing a huge sigh of relief - ha, ha! Within about 2 minutes, the newscasters were telling us that we had indeed had an earthquake.

Chalk that up to a new experience. And here we were worried about Kenneth and Melinda in California.

So Monday night I was at a meeting. Suddenly two of the women sitting near a wall started looking at each other, asking "Do you feel that?" The other 8 of us heard glasses hitting up against each other, and the lampshades were moving back and forth. Another earthquake.

I thought it was interesting that 8 of us did not feel the quake. My theory? Those near walls were able to feel it, but as we got farther away from the wall, the shaking dispersed and we couldn't feel it. Don't know if that's right, but it seems logical to me. Anyway, we are prepared to experience more and more of these aftershocks. I just hope they stay minor. We don't want it to spread to the fault that runs through Manhattan, right next to Tuttle Creek dam. Yikes!
