I hadn’t heard about it. Where exactly was the earthquake? Maybe time to check if you have earthquake insurance. I know for me it was not automatically covered in my home insurance. Probably is not expensive if you live in an area that rarely gets quakes. Mine is a fortune, I guess because they figure when it hits here it is usually BIG. I’m outside of Memphis, we are affected by the New Madrid MO fault, is that what affected you?
I only once felt the earth shake a little, when I was very little living in NY, it was for a few seconds and barely perceivable. I told my mom the ground moved when I was playing outside, and she thought I was nuts. Later while watching the news they reported slight tremors in the area.
My husband grew up in Mexico City and he has been through some pretty big earthquakes, but he did not worry about it much from what I can tell. One guy I knew was in the San Francisco Quake back in ‘89 while on a business trip and he was pretty traumatized. I was with him aout 6 weeks later in a busy pre-christmas shopping mall on the second floor, and the floor began to shake a little under the weight of so many people (I assume it is constructed with some give on purpose) and he was kind of freaked. I didn’t even notice the floor moving until he pointed it out.
