so far 4.8 Vanuatu. Texas had a lower 4. I can go nuts chasing earthquakes, golf scores, stock market. It's a good thing it's raining today, so no outdoor work.

This could be a slow day of the earth moving and the numbers could surprise you on the low side. And all of a sudden, Whoosh! An 8.0 hits the charts. Mother Nature messes with us all the time.
