[Spridgets] Earthquake--follow-up

[Kitterer Bob]

Had a pretty good shake down here - - about 75 miles south of Buster.  
The computer monitor  was  a rocking for what seemed like a half a  
minute but most likely was shorter.  Do not remember the last time I  
felt an earthquake.

But I will take an earthquake any day over tornadoes where you have  
to keep your radio/TV on for hours, go to the storm cellar for some  
unknown time.  Perhaps do this several times a year.  With an  
earthquake you do not know it is coming (so don't worry about it) and  
in about 30 seconds you know if you have any reason to be concerned.   
I always enjoyed the fellow in Simi Valley in the big earthquake  
there years ago - - he looked out his patio door at the swimming pool  
and said "Surfs Up".
