-5.7 earthquake a few minutes ago. Not my first quake but the strongest: the whole house was shaking. A walk around showed no damage.
-The epicenter was 22km from a "neighboring" town. I hope there were no serious injuries or destruction.
-Why is neighboring in quotes? Look at a map of Nevada and see how scattered towns in the central part of the state are.

In some parts of this big island of ours, your neighbour could be 200 or more k away. 
-Now USGS says 5.5 not 5.7.
-So far since 3PM Pacific time (UTC-8) USGS shows 10 aftershocks between 2.5 and 3.6
-The seismology lab at U of Nevada, Reno, shows bunches more but lower strength.
-So far no reports on damage or injuries. The epicenter area is mostly uninhabited, maybe a mine or ranch, but plenty of wildlife.

-And that's one reason I'd love to visit "Down Under" and take the Ghan.In some parts of this big island of ours, your neighbour could be 200 or more k away.
-I had the pleasure of working with some Australian troops in Vietnam. Great guys.
-One NCO had a book with photos of Australian wildlife. Kids looked at the photos with "Who are you trying to kid?" expressions. Come on, a platypus? No way, hombre!!

Here you go matie, I did the last leg from Alice to Darwin in October, posh class with small dinning car and great bar.
-Thanks for the photos, Vic. Wifey and I watched a railroad TV series that covered the Ghan in one episode. Looks yummy. Then rent a car and drive back? Nah, I tried driving in Ireland and couldn't handle it. Going straight was okay but then came a roundabout...
-Temp here 19° F (-7° C) but no wind.
-Earthquake update: USGS now rates the big one at 5.8. There have been constant aftershocks, at least 50, most in the 1 to 3 range but one 4.2. I can't copy the plot from the UNR Seismology lab (Nevada Seismological Lab); it just shows a pile of markers.
