The Earthquakes are rattling my Crossfires
Just had the second earthquake at 11:20 AM East. Was awaken rather suddenly this AM with the first earthquake. The cars are handling it well, but my office diplomas crashed and threw glass everywhere. I must say, these earthquakes are a thrilling ride, like the Tail.
Who else is feeling these earthquakes. May need to work on emergency preparedness instead of washing my cars this weekend.

Crappy little 5.3. I was in Hawaii two years back when the biggest one they had in 30 years hit and we were on the 14th floor of the hotel. Luckily freight elevator was working because nothing else was and I was leaving that day and thought I would have to walk our 3 pieces of luggage down all those flights. Luckily we were the last plane out of there that day out of the three that took off . Else we would have had to sleep in the airport with no power and no running water because there's not enough emergency generators to keep the airport running.

STL here. We felt it this morning aswell. Plus sitting here at work my screen started to shake about an hour ago... When the first one hit i rolled over elbowed my wife and said stop shaking the bed before i realized what was actually happening. LOL

Now if a tornado or a hurricane ripped thru the west coast - people might freak.
At least if a major earthquake destroys your home - you'll find that all of your "Stuff" will be in one nice and neat pile on your property - - not scattered over five counties...

Reporting from TX, I would rather have the tornado so I would know when to kiss my *** good-bye
. A major natural disaster here is ice on the road, seriously.

Hi Jane, Glad your OK! 
Heads Up to you All!
1) Consider Earthquake Insurance it's Not included in the Std HO Policy! (Just got mine last week $75 extra, NO I'm Not psychic
)
2) Earthquakes shake more in the Midwest & down as the Plates are much bigger & Deeper than in Calif. (So the Richter Scale number means Not the Same thing here as it does in Cal)
My Best,
Bill

Re: The Earthquakes are rattling my Crossfires
Here in Vincennes, we can't get flood insurance since we are on the Wabash River, but we do have earthquake insurance. Minor damage, but all is OK here. Everybody is just a bit on edge now that we've had the second quake. Thanks everyone for writing; it is nice to hear from you all.
Can't stop thinking about the Tail. Just signed up for a racing event at Putnam Park with NASA for May 17,18th. This will be my first event with NASA, so I'll find out how they are in regards to putting on the event.
On stable ground now,
Jane

Re: The Earthquakes are rattling my Crossfires
It's not rare to have an earthquake in the Missouri, Illinois, indiana, area as far as geologic time goes. Back in 1812, The New Madrid fault line shifted and set off a 8.0 or better earthquqke. It even changed the course of the Mississippi to flow north for a while.
Check it out.

My wife said some of her students felt it here in NW Ohio this morning about 6:30 am.
