Midwest Earthquake??

Posted on April 18, 2008 at 8:24 am by jasonlee

I came in to the office this morning to hear that my co-workers were shaken awake this morning by the earthquake. It wasn’t that unbelievable since I know we are on a fault line and we have a extension of our Home-Owners insurance just for earthquakes, but I completely slept thru the whole event.

Our Campus Services Director, Mark, said his kids were shaken awake and noticed their ceiling fans moving and the noise was loud enough it sounded like a tree had fallen on the house. 

Is it bad that you come to work completely unaware you slept through a 5.2 magnitude earthquake? What does it say about you when you can sleep thru an Earthquake?  Is it bad when you are just a little bit bummed out that you slept thru an Earthquake?

Now I understand why we have Earthquake insurance on our Home-Owners Policy, not a bad investment of $6 per year.

Here is the report from FoxNews

    5,2 is serious… but often not too serious! I’ve slept through a few of those myself, being a California boy! The strength increases exponentially, which is why a 6.0 can be so devastating… and yet you barely feel those less than 4.

    I’m guessing you slept through it since you were so tired from working the night before…. at least that would be my excuse.
