I just herd you folks had another jolt.( On the weather channel )

We hope that everyone is ok.

Dean you better keep your generator gased up.

I just hope another big quake don't hit Haitti or anywhere else, because it was just after your last quake in the same area then Haitti was hit.

You all be safe & we'll see ya real soon.

I was sitting in my truck eating my lunch & reading the newspaper.
My first thought was someone on the jobsite was messing around with my truck, then realized it was an earthquake.
It rolled pretty good where I was for almst 30 seconds, but was very mild compared to the one we had a couple of weeks ago.
I figured maybe a 5.0 or 5.4... I see it's been down graded to 5.9 as of this evening.

Glad you're all oakydoaky.

More than likely it was a more lively aftershock...

:thinking:

Too much mountain between us and there. I haven't felt anything this far away in Klamath Falls. Not that I'm disappointed, we get our own. Glad it didn't affect you down there.
