What the hell? Being safe from earthquakes is supposed to be one of the few uppers about the midwest. That's crazy!

you, my friend, are a sick puppy....


I felt it in Louisville, woke me and wife up. when I first woke up and thought I had felt the house shaking I thought it was a tornado, then when I looked outside and realized it was dead calm, I thought, ****, that was somebody breaking into the garage(thoughts are a little hazy at when woken up like that) so I ran downstairs and looked in the garage and everything was cool there. It wasnt until I seen water on the floor from the fish tank that I realized what had happened.

Weird ****. That's why I love living in the heart of Texas, no natural disasters but flooding.

Not this far down. We are technically at the very bottom of Tornado Alley, but there really are not many of them. If there is, its a Cat-1 and damages like one house.
