I just saw a report on the ROSE (Emergeny and Disaster Information site) web site.
12 6 2012 18:33:03
Nellis Air Fore Base
1.7 magnitude

I guess it was too small to be felt. Does Vegas get a lot of small quakes?

Can you even feel a 1.7 quake?

Suppose it was something else at the base and they're just staying it was a quake?

It's not the Earth quaking. It's the Casino executives shaking in fear when they hear I am going to return.

Those "small" ones don't even count. Unless you're 4.5 or higher on the Richter scale, it isn't even worth talking about! 1.7 is like a flea on a dog!

Not sure I did the math right, but since the Richter scale is logarithmic, the Vegas quake is approximately 1/400,000th the size of the 7.3 one that just occurred off the coast of Japan.
