You are welcome. And New Mexico has constant low frequency earth quakes and occassionally 3.7 so I know the rumble that causes. I lived in the mountains with very few neighbors and dirt roads and I remember hearing what sounded like a large truck coming up the hill too fast. It was an earthquake. In town we didn't hear it because of all the noise but when I was a kid I remember we had a 3.6 earthquake and my friend came to school the next day saying her dad had passed out on the couch watching tv (too much beer, his habit) and when the earthquake hit he woke up and saw the tv was fuzzy, tried to get up to fix it and kept falling down.
5th graders tell the best stories on their parents. We only woke up when it happened because the dogs started barking.
