I am really tired of earthquakes to tell you the truth, I'm just glad it wasn't in Alaska. We've had a crap ton of them since I moved here 2 years ago, and I was in Japan for the 9.2 deep water quake back in March. Earthquakes are no fun, but I still hate hurricanes more.

Here in Richmond VA the biggest impact was cell and text service on multiple carriers were down for over an hour. A good reminder that when SHTF you may not be able to contact your family to check their status...

Earthquake today, Hurricaine this weekend, and I think Locust are planed for Monday...

I'm about 25 miles from the epicenter - scared the crap out of me. I was freaking out and trying to look calm while I evacuated the building. I'm in charge of safety in the plant, so I was acting like a duck... cool and calm on the surface, but paddling my butt off underneath. No major damage and no injuries, thank god!

Scared the crap out of me. I was visiting my fife and I started to feel the building move side to side and at first I thought it was me, then I looked at my wife and she was moving. I went out in the hall and all the nurses were talking about it too.

Living in the midwest, an earthquake is one of my greatest fears...if the New Madrid ever goes off...everywhere east of the mississippi will feel it.

Just take this as a reminder to take inventory of your preps. Ask yourself the question, where was I at when it happened and did I have what I needed to get myself home if needed? I know I did and I didn't like the answer. Got work to do.

Did exactly that. didn't like the answer. Unfortunately, I live on the Illinois side of the River, and work on the Missouri side of the river. definately NOT ideal. IF I can get back to the IL side of the river, I'm golden. I have multiple routes mapped out, including a ferry if need be. In all other regards, Think I'm prepped.
