Earthquakes in Prague, Ok.

I felt the 4.7 one from tonight here at work in Pittsburg, KS. The floor started vibrating and desks started shaking.
 
Back in '89 here in CA, we had a 7.2 quake. Worst quake I ever experienced. Felt like I was on the ocean during a storm. The six point quakes and above I still remember. Don't remember any of the five point quakes. Seemed that there were endless aftershocks for weeks and weeks after that 7.2.

After the initial 7.2 quake, everyone I knew was sleeping with their shoes on and left the front door ajar every night for a month after. Once we got electricity and the phones working three days later, we felt some semblance of normalcy. But that event kept everybody on their toes and making sure that water, canned goods, and basic medical supplies were always on hand.
