Whole Lotta Shaking Going On... [Apr. 18th, 2008|11:22 am]

You know, it is an unusual sensation to be in the top floor of the tower at the library when the ground shakes... hehe, kinda weird to feel that...

As long as the tower doesn't fall down until after I leave for the day, it is all good!

Makes me wonder how secure these buildings are against tremors? Maybe I shouldn't think about how structurally stable a giant limestone tower is...

For peace of mind, that might be the best idea.

And I felt the tremor shake HPER and my desk this morning.

Indiana gets a magnitude 2-3 quake every few weeks (on average). Certainly not enough to feel when you're on the ground, but if you're in an upper floor of a sizable building, you get that dizzy *sway* feeling.

Now *those* are earthquakes I feel. I don't even like being in the upper floor of a building because of them. It's like vertigo without even looking down. lol
