Squiggles on a seismograph translated to a big mess at Lucky Seven Liquors in Owensville. They had broken bottles and falling nicknacks. When the 5.2 quake hit around 4:30 Friday morning, it brought more fear than damage.
At USIs geology department, theyve measured as many as 7 quakes above a 2 on the scale. Even seasoned geologists are impressed with the shaking. Before Friday, the last big quake was a 4.9 that hit near Evansville in 2002. Professor Paul Doss says this 5.2 puts its predecessor to shame.
