Yep, knocked some stuff off a cabinet I had.  That was well impressive and I bet if in the same vicinity this was closer to a 5.5

Felt it this time. No damage but fun to see the family freak out.
Someone get Hoss a pacifier.

I was watching the TV and felt that one.  The lamps in the living room were definitely moving. 5.2!  Biggest I've been through.

Must be global warming.   ;D

Pretty darn rattly around here, but nothing really moved, just swaying and rattling.

Felt that one! Bunk beds almost fell over upstairs!

It thought it was a gust of wind until I started shaking pretty good.

Wow, just wow.  Lasted at least 30 seconds here in midtown.  FOX23 reported 5.2  (the record is 5.5)

Well, at least we are absolutely certain it's not hydraulic fracturing.....  ;)

Anyone know how much stronger a 5.2 is compared to the 4.8 earlier?

Not exactly but it is a logarithmic scale. ie. 6.0 is 10 x 5.0.

USGS updated it to magnitude 5.6, which is a new record.

That's a good sized earthquake. I wonder if it caused any damage?

Some reports via Twitter that the Lincoln County Emergency Mgmt team reports 'significant' damage in Lincoln County.

From what I've read online this one was in Sparks 15 miles from Prague.

Google earth puts it 3.26 miles from this mornings.  I was actually sitting here talking to my significant other about this morning's, and going over the news reports on it, when this one hit.  I just got to laugh at her starting to freak out.
