You are welcome, SheLion.
When I first found the information about this quake listed on the USGS site and even for a few minutes after posting this, there were no other news reports yet and nothing on AP, UPI, Reuters.

I know it!
I put on Fox N' Friends at 6am and nothing there, either. It might be on their crawl, but I have been in front of my computer. I will go and watch the crawl now to see if Fox has anything on about this.
Lol! I'm afraid there are going to be many occasions coming down the road to blame on Pelosi.
Yep. Thanks!
