This is getting to be a habit

Weather Underground reports another earthquake at Bar Harbot, this one at 4.2 on the Richter scale.

That's the second earthquake in a week(?), and doubles the number of earthquakes in Maine since I've been living in-state.

Um. There's a reason I'm not living in California. Just sayin'.


EDITED TO ADD

DECEMBER 17, 2014:  Deleted Kalimeg's comment because it's apparently very, very important to a woman who is interested in earthquakes that the link is dead.  She's written to me several times about this (yes, about a dead link in a reply to a blog entry that's eight years old), wanting me to alter the link to one she's provided, which naturally I can't do.  I hope this gives her peace, poor soul.

Whoa, I didn't even know you could get earthquake info on Weather Underground, I couldn't find it.

I take it Isaac is far enough out to sea not to influence anything there?

Damn. Have they figured out whose fault it is?

22nd. So 11 days. But still.

At least they're little ones. But still, YUK. I HATE quakes.

Earthquakes are fun. You can get a roller coaster ride in the comfort of your own hotel room... the higher, the better!

Hah! It's all this kitchen talk!

When you get quakes in the middle of a plate, doesn't that suggest a cracked plate?

Could be a crackpot, but those are pretty common.

Check the big one in Boston history (1755? Here's the link I found - http://www.boston.com/news/globe/magazine/articles/2006/05/28/bostons_earthquake_problem/ )

Keep your hardhat on.

Wife felt it up here. I was sitting next to the stereo and missed the jolt in the tympani...

The reports waffle between 4.2 and 3.4 rating -- not sure which is correct.

I'm waiting for the New Madrid Fault to go kaflooey.

Apropos of nothing, I *love* your new blog theme!

Huh. I remember four or more earthquakes when I was growing up in West Minot. None of them were any big deal, no more shaking than we got from a Mac truck going by, but I do remember enough of them to have the impression that Maine gets earthquakes all the time.

I spent, until recently, the last 11 years living in Southern California and felt 2 earthquakes the entire time. I only noticed them because I was sitting still.
