Did anyone feel the quake??

I had wondered why my desk was shaking a little earlier. Then I found out that there was a 5.0 quake near Evansville. Here's a short story;

WOW!!! Its been awhile since I heard of a quake around Louisville. The last time I was 13 in the mid-70s I was leaning back in my chair at Noe Middle School(Off Hill St) when it happened and I fell backwards. The school was still pretty new at the time and the teacher told us that it was the builing settling. My mother told me what happened when I got home that day. And it had broke some of my mothers knick-knacks and my grandmother was tossed out of bed. ED

I didn't know what to think when I read this..It shocked me..I had not heard about this til I got online this evening..Just goes to show you never know what is going to happen..

:oI felt it, I was still in bed and it woke me up. I thought I was dreaming but my waterbed was still shaking and my dog looked at me like " What The Hell Is Goin On" Then I heard a pan shift in the sink.I told my fiance' we just had an EarthQuake and she told me "I was dreaming". then I seen it on the local news. I told her "Yeah Right I was Dreaming" LOL

I'm not all that far from Louisville, but we didn't feel the quake. Of course, it could have been disguised by the routine dynamite blasting going on in my area every afternoon around 3pm (drainage ditch work is responsible for this month's explosions ).

When I changed our homeowner's insurance policy last fall, I added earthquake coverage. My husband told me I was nuts. He doesn't think that now, though! (or at least he won't say it out loud! ;D ;D)

Here in Russell County, we live right above the fault. I purchased earthquake insurance on our home because IF we have the big one as some so called experts predict your present insurance MAY not cover the damage. And, with an earthquake of even moderate scale, damage CAN be severe. We have them at our home in the Philippines everyday almost and when I lived in Japan for over three years we had some big quakes so I am pretty used to them and have seen first hand the devestation they cause. SO, check your insurance and see if you have quake damage. It is very cheap, about $1 for every thousand insured. Ours cost us $196 extra a year

[Tummygoat]

Thats pretty incredible busted. I don't think I've ever felt the Earth shake and to feel that every day would be interesting. What about trains? Do they constitute earthquakes? Some pretty vicious trains have shook my apartment over the last year I've been here.

[still_busted]

LOL, there are NO trains where we live in the Philippines. Only PALM trees, sand and the South China Sea. I have been sitting at the table in the kitchen with a cup of coffee on the table {Floor is concrete} and quakes will shake my cup and make it dance on the table. The are not severe, just frequent. There WAS a big one about 49 kilometers from our home a few months ago. It was about 6'8 on the scale and did a lot of damage in General Santo City. It took out the tower and cell phones were not usable.

You folks with earthquake insurance, might ought to check you deductable. From what I'm seeing some folks from Evansville thought they had better coverage than what they really have.

I must take the blame for that quake, I just knew I should NOT have eaten that sack of ten of white castles.
