Rare Earthquake in Minnesota

Thunder? No, make that an earthquake in western Minnesota

Excerpt:

A rare earthquake, albeit modest, rippled in and around Alexandria in western Minnesota early Friday.

The temblor at 2:20 a.m. measured 2.5 in magnitude, falling into the "weak" category, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Not surprisingly, there were no reports of damage or injury.

The quake probably "felt like a truck rumbling by or thunder," said USGS geophysicist John Bellini.

I've never experienced and earthquake. Kathee was in San Francisco on business once and experienced one. (Not that I want too!)
