We had an earthquake last night. No, really-- someone in class mentioned that it was apparently measured at 4.9, and someone else pointed out that Georgia's on a fault line, a fact I did not know. At 5:01am I was awoken by my bed shaking and the walls rumbling. I rubbed my eyes, swore at the neighbors for being noisy, got up to use the bathroom and then went back to bed. There were several people in class who slept through the thing. This one obviously wasn't severe, but since my room is on the highest (fourth) floor of the building the possibility of worse ones in the future makes me a little nervous. I need to find out if earthquakes are covered in my homeowner's insurance. |
