A reader sent along a link to the USGS site about an earthquake in Attica on Sept. 23 because no media reported the event.
Granted, it was a small one, but still worth noting.
The 2.4 shaker was actually 3 miles southeast of Attica.
There was also a temblor reported in Attica on June 5.
That is really interesting,
That is really interesting, since two in a row like that would be pretty abnormal from what I read.

I remember that one. My son was four months old, and just woke up to be fed. I was looking out the back window while I fed him, when I felt the movement, and saw the trees swaying in the back yard. I remember thinking about all of the people who had been out the night before celebrating, only to wake up to a raging hangover and the bed shaking.

I was in my front yard talking with neighbors when this one hit. We were sitting on a blanket on the grass, so we certainly felt it. First reaction? Silly as it may sound, since it was August and a warm day...a furnace exploded.
