Minor Earthquake near Bassett, Nebraska

According to a story by KETV 7 of Omaha, a minor earthquake measuring 2.9 on the Richter Scale occurred between>Bassett and Newport, Nebraska. It is so odd to think that the earth has a crack in it deep under the hay meadows east of Bassett (my home town.)
A bit of research reveals that in 1972 there was another small earthquake in north central Nebraska, and it was felt in Bassett. I lived there at the time, but I don't remember feeling it. Thinking back, though, it seems to me that I have a faint memory of my dad talking about the dishes rattling.
