What's Up With All This Shaking?

There have been four earthquakes in the past month. Four! That's four more than in the last couple years. Of course, they've all been under a 5.0 on the Richter, but they scare me nonetheless. For FHE last Monday Franco and I stocked up on canned & freeze-dried food and other emergency preparedness items to make me feel better. Now I have to find a way to jump down from my second-story apartment balcony if the building ever decides to crumble.
 
May 30th we're going to an Emergency Preparedness Fair and hopefully that will make me feel much better, too.
