They are getting to be closer together and more intense.
The above is completely and utterly false.

This was not an earthquake. It was the American Spy satellite hitting the earth. It is all George Bush's fault!

I definitely felt the earthquake in Pocatello. It rolled and bumped for about 10 to 15 seconds.

Nevada overall has had quite a few 6+ quakes in the last 100 years. Its the third most seismic state after Alaska and California. Sssh! Don't tell my wife! I'm trying to get her to agree to our retiring in Nevada!

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