Indiana just had a 4.2 magnitude earthquake in the north central part of the state. It happened at 7:56 a.m. today and there are luckily no reports of injuries or damages. It seems that the weather gets stranger by the day here. Do you deal with earthquakes where you live?

Earthquakes are quite common in my country and I experienced two important ones,the first in 1990 and another one in 2005,but fortunately they weren't strong enough and they only created minor damages.Unfortunately many specialists think that a truly major earthquake will strike Romania in the next years and I think they're right,because the last two big earthquakes took place in 1940 and 1977 and they had disastrous consequences,so I'm afraid it will happen again in a few years.

Let's hope that they are wrong. I hate to see disastrous earthquakes or any other weather.

We've had some earthquakes here and it even put down a couple of structures. There were some injuries and i'm not sure if there were deaths. I'd hate to have another one like that or any kind of disaster whatsoever. It's just sad when i watch those who were affected on the news. Although it's also heart-warming to see that there are so many who're willing to help those who were at a loss.

I agree with you and I am glad that we do not have them with the damage that they do in some parts of the world.

oh my gosh. i didnt even know indiana had earth quakes. thats fairly near ohio and i lived there most of my life and never knew of any earthquakes. in fact, i thought, growing up that earthquakes only hit over in foriegn countries. 
then i found out when grown that they have them in california and i was in one. 
i said if i ever got out, id never go back. geesh lately theres so many every where that you think it must be coming the end times.

In 82 we had a 5.7 magnitude earthquake where I live, but it just rattles dishes and made noise....very lucky indeed. Not near the magnitude of the earthquakes in California.

I live in Estonia and luckily we haven't had any major earthquakes here. I think the most powerful one was something equal to yours, but it took place in a quite desolated area, so nobody was hurt. It was long time ago, no noticeable earthquakes since then. I am actually very happy about my location, because we don't suffer any major natural disasters, like floods or volcano eruptions. Perhaps a storm or two per year, which really may leave a trace, but that's all.
