Earthquake!

Today we had 6-7 earthquakes every couple minutes for over an hour! In fact, they're still going!
After much observation, investigation, and experimentation, we found there were 4 trucks out on the main road CREATING the earthquakes ON PURPOSE. 
Turns out the Linda 2D Seismic Survey is doing an experiment of their own. They shake the earth in these giant trucks and collect data from some receivers they put in the ground earlier. When they're done, they'll dig up the receivers, analyze the data, and have a better understanding of fault zones and natural resources in the area.
Several guys were on hand to answer questions of passers-by. One gentleman even helped our elderly neighbor cross the street. (She had a matching vest.)
Fun for them... A little scary for us!
Kik wanted his own photo memory.
