Did anyone else feel the earthquake this morning?  They are very rare here (Indiana/Illinois).  I was in my car at the time and didn't notice anything unusual, but several people said things fell off shelves or they were woken up by it.  Wow, scary - they say a 6.0+ quake could happen by 2040.  This area isn't well-prepared for that kind of event.  Plus, the underlying soils are really loose.  If we get a 6.0+, there will be all sorts of damage.  Hope I'm not around. Tongue out

and now you're all shook up.

Look gt it this way at California is going to sink into the ocean

Arizona will have a beautiful shoreline

The Great Lakes will extend to Louisiana

And you will be playing chess in China
