Thanks Jim. That's my take too. I sound the alarm about this topic, because I believe the area is overdue, and I think folks should be aware and as prepared as they can be. There are steps homeowners can implement to protect their homes. Making sure they are bolted to the foundation helps. Spires going criss cross between beams helps too. Then there's the emergency items that would help in any disaster, water, first aid kit, gas turn off valves close-by the meter etc.

I live near Martinsville, Indiana. We are very well aware of the probability of this occurring again here. My house, according to the USGS sits absolutely smack dab centered on a small fault called the Mt. Carmel fault, it follows just north of the White river basin and when you zoom in, the line is drawn through my house directly.

Just switched home owners insurance last week, went with Erie Insurance. Got a funny look from the writer who was quoting it about the cost of brick veneer siding from an earthquake and what was covered on a standard policy. For what little they wanted to add earthquake coverage I said put it on. She kinda thought that was funny I think but gladly took the extra money. Hope she’s right and I’m wrong TBH.
