Nellis Air Force Base is a United States Air Force installation in southern Nevada with military schools and more squadrons than any other USAF base. Nellis hosts air combat exercises such as Exercise Red Flag and close air support exercises such as Green Flag-West flown in "Military Operations Area (MOA) airspace", associated with the nearby Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). The base also has the Combined Air and Space Operations Center-Nellis.

I zoomed in and could see it wasn’t far from your house. I’m surprised it didn’t set off Peaches and Ginger, making them zip around the house. There have been quakes in our general area over the years that we didn’t feel but the cats reacted to them. Heck, they reacted when Hunga Tonga erupted a week or so ago. That eruption rang the planet like a gong.

Catch ya tomorrow night. Sleep well.

I think Peaches was outside when it happened and Ginger never reacts. LOL! Heck, none of us reacted when Hunga Tonga went off. I kind of wish I had felt something. LOL!
