Cottage Report - The Closing
It was a beautiful weekend for closing. The cottage has lake access only, and you don't want to be on a motor boat in November. The pump has to be closed and everything drained. All boats put away, and everything tucked up. This was the weekend for evenings by the fire, and listening to the audiobook of the The Martian. If you ever want to have a good sleep, listen to this for an hour or two. It's 10 hours long, so plenty of restful nights. Mind numbing detail. After a while, I was getting restless because of a few large conceptual holes, but everybody else liked it. Great for cold nights!
The colours aren't at their peak yet, maples are barely orange.

Oklahoma earthquake - M4.4, possibly up to M5.8
A long time since I wrote something about OK in the main blog. This is a deep normal earthquake with only an Intensity of 5 right above it. Distant stations reported a high magnitude, but the local effects were light, so they downgraded it.
I love when this happens, and this is the biggest discrepancy yet.
There is a huge felt area. Had this been a thrust, you would have seen something.
Add. Ok, I'm at the cottage now and have snagged a cell connection. It will only last a few minutes. This was an 'upside down' earthquake in that the main hammer went down to the centre of the earth. The stations that reported an almost 6 are probably on the other side of the world. With this earthquake, I predict the 'closer' will come within a year. That's the earthquake which either destroys the city, or blows up all the oil tanks.
Add2 - Followed by a 4.5 strike-slip near Cushing. I'm in the land of no internet, so I can't do much on this one.
