Re: Nothing like being woken up by an Earthquake
 

I remember back in grade school (1990ish) we had earthquake drills in Peoria, IL because people thought a quake was so likely. Being in a class room above a gymnasium hiding under a desk with a book over my head was their idea of being "safe" during one.

I was awakened by the awesome power of nature, too. The whole house was shaking. I thought it I was just having a nightmare. But, when one of my dogs was running around the yard, with her "Hey. What the hell's going on" bark, reality set in. So, I turned on the TV and both local stations were all over it. At a revised 5.2, they say this was the second most powerful earthquake ever felt in this part of Indiana. Right after the 5.3 one, in 1968. It's not California or Southeast Asia, but definitely enough to give you some empathy for what the have to go through.

Hopefully, the next rumbling/shaking I feel is from multiple 800 H.P., 410 cu. in. motors screaming across my field of vision, in a place further away from the epicenter of this thing.

Kokomo is falling apart! Two nights ago we had a sonic boomb by a couple of F-16's playing lazer tag. That turned into a meteorite, UFO, Plane Crash..... This morning we have an earthquake? I missed it. I slept through it...my dog is fired he slept through both "Events". I highly recommend a Tempur Pedic Mattress because I slept through the quake.
