The quake that struck Mogul at 4:33 a.m. has been revised to a magnitude 4.2. It earlier had been listed as a magnitude 4.0.
The location is also listed as between Laurel Ridge Drive and Graysburg Drive just south of the Somersett Country Club.
It's part of a series of quakes in the Mogul area that began in late February. The strongest has been a 4.7 late Friday.
There have been 21 small earthquakes today ranging from 0.7 to 4.2, all centered in the Verdi-Mogul area.
As some of you may be aware, Reno has been steadily rocked for the past three months by little earthquakes. The AP touched on it a little today, and, indeed, I've touched on it a little myself. They're starting to get more powerful - we're getting periodic 4's now, which is getting disconcerting, to put it gently, especially since it means I'm starting to feel them at my apartment on a more regular basis. It's also completely jacked my sleep schedule - if there's anything worse than waking up in the middle of the night and having to decide if this one is actually going to be strong enough to jump into the doorway for, well, I can't think of it.
Some random thoughts in the meantime...
1. Yes, I know about Wright opening his big, fat mouth. I also don't care. I wasn't voting for Obama before he opened his mouth, and I'm certainly not going to now. I have issues with Obama's policies that, for me, are way more important than he chooses to spend his Sundays with. However, if you do care, Rachel touched on it, and Instapundit is doing an excellent job as always.
2. Conspiracy theorists crack me up. I mean, many of them are the same people that would never think for a second that the government would be competent enough to bake a loaf of bread but simultaneously believe it's completely possible that the government is competent enough to stage 9/11, among other things. You can't have it both ways. If the government is really that competent, we wouldn't care about it fooling us with terrorism because none of us would have to work for a living anymore.
3. I'm going to Interop on Wednesday, which means that posting might be a little sporadic then. I am hoping to get some pictures and do a post on it.
4. Remember, I'm switching to the new system on Thursday. If you're using the Blogspot address, update it schnell! As future Vice President of Porke Affaires, I command it!
