We had a little rain this week. It was so needed; our trees and grass were turning brown from lack of it and no sprinkler could revive them. Of course, Dad had just washed the car. BOL!
We told some old stories, taunted the cat, took some naps: the usual Scottie stuff.
The big thing happened this morning though. We had an…..
This is a map of the state of Oklahoma. You can see the location of the earthquake in relation to where we live in Henryetta. It was about 107 miles north and west of us.
At first we felt a slight shaking. Mom said it was like a washing machine going out of whack during the spin cycle and vibrating the floor. Then it really started shaking and rattling the dishes in the shelves. The news said it was a 5.6 and felt all the way from Texas to Missouri. We took cover.
We are ok and there are no cracks in our walls or anything. That’s our week in review. Have a good weekend everybody. ~ Indy and Lucy

Oh I hope the earthquake is over soon… that’s scary… but if you like the sun more you can send us the rain, we need it. Maybe the mama should clean the windows and then we will get rain soon?

We live in Kansas, 182 miles from Pawnee, and we felt the earthquake too. Probably not as much as you with you being closer. Glad you didn’t have damage

Goodness, we didn’t know about your earthquake and are so glad you are all o.k.!
That was a very good description by your Mom about what it felt like! No broken dishes or cracks in the walls? Hooray!
We here on Long Island, NY are preparing for the possibility of hurricane Hermine
to reach us in the next few days. They’re no fun either and it’s awful to loose electricity! Our paws are crossed that the storm blows out to sea.

Good Gravy, the peeps know. They lived near San Francisco and experienced many an earthquake. They were in Candlestick Park on October 17, 1989 when they lived through a 6.9. The Richter scale is logarythmic so a 2.0 is 10 times worse than a 1.0 and a 3.0 is 10 times worse than a 2.0 and 100 times a 1.0. It’s awfully scary the first time you’re in one.

Arroooo! It sure sounds like you are turning into So. California, what with the heat and earthquakes—of course we don’t remember what “rain” looks like in this 5 yr drought! You are lucky! We are beyond parched!! Riley and Tessie are so scared of earthquakes. They react to even the ones people don’t feel. We constantly have little ones and some the size of the one you just had, and bigger ones too. They keep reminding all of CA. that we are past due for “The Big One”, which is 7.0+ in magnitude. We are supposed to have all kinds of supplies saved up at home if we are stuck there, plus also carry an additional set around in our car trunks, too, in case we can’t get home when “The Big One” strikes. We had one 2 years ago with the epicenter just 4 miles away from our city. It was only a 5.0, but because we were just about right on top of it, we got a lot of minor damage! A lot of chimneys in the city fell over, (thank God ours didn’t, but we got cracks in it and had to repair it!), and almost all of the contents of our house were on the floor! Luckily we have to have our furniture strapped to the wall in CA., so that helped alot. We have to use earthquake putty on valuable objects on shelves so they don’t fall over in a quake, and not have anything,especially a picture or mirror or shelves hanging over beds. However many of the every day use items in the cupboards and medicine cabinets fell out or rested behind the doors and fell out upon opening them. Even items on the bathroom vanities fell over and broke if heavy enough or made of glass, like cannisters or bottles.
We are happy to hear you had no damage.
Indy and Lucy look so cute looking out the window and “hiding” from the quake!
Stay safe! Hope you do not get any more quakes!!!
Hugs,
Riley-Puppy and Tessie-Girl
