Earthquake Last Week

On Dec. 30, I felt my first earthquake since a minor tremor ran through Hartford, CT over eight years ago. The earthquake was a 3.8 mag centered about 5 miles SE of Greentown, IN.

Not a huge quake by any stretch of the imagination but it did strike up some old feelings when it passed through. We we still waking up when it hit just before 8 am. It took a second to realize that it was not the wind shaking the house and a bunch of old memories of Japan and California came rushing back.

It's not something I care to repeat as houses in this area are not well equiped to handle earthquakes but it made for an interesting memory rush over the Christmas holidays.
