I'm a former Midwesterner who used to think that earthquakes sounded exciting. Now that I'm on the West Coast...well, okay, they're still a bit exciting as long as they don't do any damage.
Anyway, I just noticed your post because I work for the Red Cross, and I thought I'd share some useful preparedness info for future earthquakes... http://redcrosspdx.blogspot.com/2008/04/52-earthquake-hits-midwest.html
