Sleeping through an earthquake

Yesterday at approximately 4:30am, ripples from an 5.2 magnitude earthquake in Illinois rippled ever so slightly through the metro area. Some people in Overland Park and the surrounding suburbs felt the tremors, but up on the 21st floor of our downtown apartment, we did not.

It was kind of shocking that there would have been the tremors of an earthquake in KC. But then again, Missouri does contain the New Madrid fault and people are projecting that a major earthquake will develop at some point in the future.

This was the first earthquake for my wife and I, and we both slept through it. The news coverage was kind of shocking at first because I wasn't used to hearing about earthquakes here.

I guess it is true that anything can happen, anywhere.
