Not quite as big as the one centered in Dillon a while back (5.7 magnitude), but it shook the house pretty evenly.

Bizarre.

UPDATE: 4.6 magnitude.

UPDATE: My AP reporter of a wife tells me that the official reading is now 4.6, not the initial report of 3.7.

Scienticians at Arizona State U have apparently discovered exploding geysers of frozen carbon dioxide and sand on Mars. Those who know me know that I love ice and geysers, so would could be better than an ice geyser?
