Spring has come to Missouri!

Oh joy! Spring has come to Missouri!

I Slept Through the Quake!

I slept through it all, but Warren didn't. He was already at work. He said it sounded like someone was blasting rock next door. (Common around here in order to build a basement.) The building shook. By the time he figured it out, it was over.


I feel cheated. After having taught about Earthquakes in Missouri for over 20 years, I would have liked to have felt one.

Here's a link to the stats of the Day. Cool Jpeg of the area covered.

Talked with Sarah and she says she's GOT to be the only one in the St. Louis area who slept through it. Even Dan sat up abruptly in bed, saying, "What's that?"

Sarah feels cheated too.

But she DID feel an aftershock later this morning. Shook her 8th floor office quite a bit. Kinda cool and kinda scary at the same time.

So Sarah doesn't feel as cheated as me!
