Re: Earthquake in the High Country
Just wanted to say I survived the Great Boone Quake. It did make my belly jiggle a little bit more than usual and my dogs weren't too happy but all is well.8993 wrote:A 2.9 magnitude earthquake briefly shook the High Country this afternoon.

Re: Earthquake in the High Country
Not only did I survive, I had to read a press release to even know it happened -- and that's only about a mile or so from my house.

Re: Earthquake in the High Country
That is about right. It takes a 3.0 to feel an earthquake. If this was a 2.9 that would be about what I would expect one to say.MountainMan wrote:Not only did I survive, I had to read a press release to even know it happened -- and that's only about a mile or so from my house.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

The noise when the Griz score their first TD on Saturday will probably shake the earth more than this.

Re: Earthquake in the High Country
Coupled with the intense cold, I'm guessing it's a good thing I can't make it. Game time temp, I heard, is supposed to be hovering around -18ºF, is that still the forecast?GrizAlum'10 wrote:The noise when the Griz score their first TD on Saturday will probably shake the earth more than this.
