Local time for the quake was Tuesday, December 13, 2005 at 11:40:04 PM. A quake of just under 2 on the Richter Scale is just not worth mentioning. If you go to

you'll see over 250 quakes in California in the last week, none of which made news. Looks like the largest was a 3. It takes over a four the get any attention. I'm sure no one in Missouri even knew a quake was happening at 1.9.
