We've been having some pretty significant earthquakes here for the past week and a half or so. The first one was a 5.2, then we had a 4.6, then the rest have been smaller and some aftershocks. I've felt a few of the aftershocks, but other than that it just feels like a train is on the tracks. (We live right by the tracks.)

No one would associate Indiana with earthquakes! I've been keeping up with your blog and know how much you love the aftershocks!

Yet another reason to move home...earthquakes. (I didn't mention the tornado's on purpose)
