Shocking Scenes of Damage
Last Wednesday, an earthquake measured at 4.7 on the Richter Scale rocked central Oklahoma. Reports of damage are now filtering in, as well as photographic evidence of same.
Beware, the picture is graphic and some may find it disturbing.
I've lived here on The Poor Farm most of my life. Located in western Kansas, where the wind blows - supposedly the Dodge City weather station at the airport has the highest average wind speed in the CONUS. It would be the "sticks" out here if there were any trees, but I like it. I really like the spring - when it is calm, and the smell of the fresh wheat and other plants fill the air with a unique "green" smell. My real love is the fall, when the air is cooling and calm, when you breath the air it is like a drink of cool water. Speaking of cool water, my well produces some mighty good tasting stuff. It is hard water for sure - all the faucets have lime on them, but I'll take it over soft mossy smelling reservoir water from the city any day.

Hah! You almost made me spit out my coffee!
Out here in Kaliforniastan, a 4.7 would barely make the evening news!
Yeah, you got me too. Thankfully I had swallowed the coffee before I clicked.
