Nemaha Ridge (running from around Lincoln, NE through central OK) makes me somewhat nervous because of its location and configuration. Not much activity there in the recent geological past. Then again, that’s what the citizens of Pompeii and Herculaneum said about Vesuvius.

Lengthy, dry piece on it from the usgs site, if anyone is interested:

Thanks! We have had a few that woke me up and made the dogs bark but the funniest shaker I remember was before I retired. I was sitting at my desk in a desk chair with wheels. The environment was noisy so at first I didn’t hear it until my chair, with me in it, started bouncing across the room. :-)

My house is 70 years old and has seen a lot of small quakes if the cracks in some of the walls is any indication. They aren’t big but I notice them when painting or getting cobwebs down. The house was built from Red Oak that was cut and milled on the farm so it’s solid.
