Hey man,

I know we've had our beefs, but I saw the news about the 4.9 quake in your state. Out here we know quakes all too well. I hope you and yours are safe and sound. You're in my prayers.

I appreciate the thoughts. All is fine for me. The earthquake was in the northwest part of the state. I'm more in the southeast portion. I didn't even know about it until I saw a push alert a few hours ago
 
We have a fair amount in Missouri due to the New Madrid fault but nothing like California. I do feel our area is due for another big one. Because our codes are not as strict, it will be quite catastrophic (lots of 2 and 3 story brick buildings.

I have the Earthquake app and I look at it almost daily. We had a 2.8 the other day. And I've arrived at my cabin before with things knocked off the shelves. If we do have a big one - my wife and I will be 'bugging out' and heading to the cabin due to all the fresh water and lack of people.

I'm from the midwest and I've read up on the monster quakes in 1811-1812 on the New Madrid fault. Here's hoping y'all can avoid another one like those.

My wife got me this book for Christmas. The tag said something like "For your obsession" :lol:

Not quite what I was expecting but looking forward to reading it.

I've been trying to find some decent local news articles on it. Most of them are just promoting that it's the 2nd biggest earthquake recorded in Louisiana and residents were awoken by the shaking. One article mentioned a State senator said his wife slept through it, but she's from California. This leads me to believe effects were pretty minimal.
