Earthquakes

Well, the scariest thing of nature in Kentucky to worry about is the occasional tornado. This morning I was awaken by vigorous shaking of the sofa I was sleeping on. I jumped to my feet about the time my husband was opening the bedroom door. At 4:30 in the morning, one can not make sense of their environment. I was more worried about it being a storm and never thought about an earthquake. Hmmm, don't those happen on the west coast? Let me tell you, I could not live in California. My husband opened the front door, calmly walked back upstairs, announced it's an earthquake, opened the door and promptly went back to sleep. This just makes me crazy, the man has no problem sleeping.
At 10:15 this morning, we felt an aftershock of 4.5. I have been amused by the chatter on facebook this morning from former students and present students along with my 19 year old daughter Samantha, who thinks this all fun.
