The brochures never mentioned earthquakes


The pooch woke us up about 10 minutes before the quake, so we were awake and alert to notice it.

There are certain things I take for granted in life and just don't ever pay attention to...you know, like oxygen. Also, the ground. It's a bit freaky when the ground does something beyond simply existing.

Our house swayed a bit (kind of like rolling?) and we could hear the ground shaking. The noise definitely traveled in a uniform direction.

Everyone and everything is fine and I now have a new attitude about dirt. Didn't much appreciate the ground shaking my old house so much, though. Kinda rude.

  1. And the first natural disaster I thought you would face would have been a tornado....Let's see what's next floods? Locusts? How about a Hurricane. At least you would have experience with that one! Do they know what one is in IN???? mom b
