A few years ago there was a minor one, but I also slept through.

Meanwhile, there have been more shakings near San Francisco, 200 miles to the southwest of us.<br /><br />It seems that the earth is experiencing more seismic activity lately. I wonder if it's partly a result of the polar ice caps melting?Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633967390492270136noreply@blogger.com
