Hey EARTHQUAKE!!!!

[Janet]

Yes, I was sitting here at the computer at 11:15 and starting feeling a rumbling and then the dogs lifted their heads. Next thing is I have 3 paintings on the wall and they started shaking and swinging. I just sat here like a dummy, because I was waiting on it to get worse. It seemed like it lasted about 15-20 seconds. They said we could still feel aftershocks for a few days.

Here I thought all I had to worry about in Indiana was tornadoes...LOL

I thought we were in Tornado Alley, not the Lake Michigan Fault Line.
If nobody hears from us in the next few days we should tell them to look for us in the cracks.

Wow, how strange, I am glad you gals are ok

Glad it wasn't bad. That happened to us here in Tennessee once. I didn't really feel it just all the dishes and things were rattling. My neighbor and I both came outside just to see if anyone else noticed or if we were crazy. It doesn't happen here much either.

Was I small? I don't recall this.

There were a couple of new earthquakes in the past few days weren't there? I know there has been a tornado.

I love a good storm, but New Yorkers aren't set up for real weather. It scares me!

Someone in our group at Branson mentioned that Illinois had had an earthquake and I wondered if you'd felt it too, Janet. I hope that you don't have any that are stronger than that because I'd hate to think of the damage it could cause. We have faults here too. Supposedly our lake's dam is built on a fault. Real smart isn't it?

[Janet]

Well, you just bring your whole family here to live...at least we are a little farther away from the fault, but we could still have some building fall.
