You near Wells or Wendover? I love Nevada, but haven’t yet had the chance to explore the northern part of the state.

[dragnet2]

I don’t know...I can’t recall the last 6 or above in NE Nevada.

[advertising guy]

man we had a two hour thunder storm last nite come thru Phoenix that was huge............One massive lightnin’ story but with repeated thunder claps that rattled teeth
one time, 3 thunder claps at a time

[Allegra]

Given a choice between being in an earthquake and being in Baghdad, I think I’d choose the earthquake.............

Oh, the ground shakes here from time to time. It just isn't caused by earthquakes.

When I was asked to come over here, they didn't really ask if I would rather be in an earthquake. ;-)

[Red Badger]

Good. What lives in Vegas can stay in Vegas.........Don’t want them coming for a visit any time soon.........

[Red Badger]

LOL!!!...They never asked ME where I wanted to go when I was in, either!.......right rude of them.......

[Strategerist]

There’s a difference between routine on a personal time scale and routine geologically.

Nevada overall has had quite a few 6+ quakes in the last 100 years. It’s the third most seismic state after Alaska and California.

[off-roader]

Shhhh... It’s nothing but barren, sand, cactus and crazy people. No need to visit.

[CindyDawg]

Morning:’)

[Dog]

Sounds like after I had a burritio.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Keep your head down, f’goodness sake...

[JennysCool]

I’m up north in Elko ... The actual Nevada! :-) Just west of Wendover and Wells.

[Dog]

You near Area 51...?

[Red Badger]

I’ll agree with the “crazy people” part. You must know my relatives...............

[dragnet2]

It’s the third most seismic

I understand the seismic history and geology of Nevada and the west, however, I was referring to recent history. As I said, I just don't recall hearing about 6 or above quake in that region, (NE NV). No doubt it has occurred in the distant past.

[Allegra]

LOL!!!...They never asked ME where I wanted to go when I was in, either!.......right rude of them.......

I'm not even in.

That's the sad part. Nobody made me come here. LOL

It's a blend of patriotism, being a bit of an adventure-junkie and now wanting to see how it ends.

Given a choice between being in an earthquake and being in Baghdad, I think I’d choose the earthquake.............

I don't think there's much difference. The Earth moves with the impact of incoming artillery, anyway. At least in Bagdad you get a chance to strike back. Who do you fight in an earthquake? God?

This is just another birth pang of the apocalypse anyway. They are getting to be closer together and more intense.

Gotta ask yourself a heavenly minded question: RAPTURE READY?

[Monkey Face]

Yep. I’ve been in more earthquakes than I can count. It’s one thing I don’t sleep through, for sure.

[off-roader]

Good. What lives in Vegas can stay in Vegas.........Don’t want them coming for a visit any time soon.........

There is a lot of diversity (all types) in our fair town and locale and the state overall is (oops there I go again) nothing but barren wasteland, infested with giant parasitic bugs, nuclear waster, LGM's and crazy people. No need to visit.

[Allegra]

Keep your head down, f’goodness sake...

It's actually been very quiet today and quiet for the most part lately. Much quieter than last year at this time.

Of course, there's a lot going on in surrounding countres now...
