Richard, Sorry about the earthquake, and I hope that you, your house and equipment are all OK. I know how disturbing it is to go through a major earthquake for the first time-- unfortunately I've been through three of them (in California, Japan and Washington).
Here at home we have personal experience with a severe earthquake-- the 6.9 Nisqually earthquake in 2002 shook our house like a leaf, and caused the entire Puyallup Valley to vibrate like jello for about 2 minutes, opening up various sinkholes of up to 5 feet deep in roads and yards. Some cracks opened up in our ceiling drywall, but our basic house structure was undamaged (probably because we live in a rambler). Everybody was paranoid of earthquakes for about a month after that. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard N Allen" <[email protected]> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 3, 2016 5:35:07 AM Subject: Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 9/2/16 Gary: This morning I was listening to a carrier on 702 kHz when a strong earthquake hit shaking my house for about 90 seconds. USGS say it was 5.6 magnitude, one of the strongest ever recorded in Oklahoma. The epicenter was about 40 miles east of me. It was felt as far away as Omaha. My niece felt in Emporia KS. Naturally it brought my listening session to abrupt end. Have a good day. Richard.
