I live close by and felt a little rumble but the booming noise that came before it seemed to rumble just as much.
Here is a State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) page for Missouri Earthquake Preparedness. http://sema.dps.mo.gov/earthquake_preparedness/
I have noticed several state governments advertising on the radio, Illinois for one, to be prepared for a disaster and offer websites to go to for info. What do they know that they are not telling us? My child came home from Pre K the other day with a preparedness Survival bag with pictures printed on the bag of the items that we should put in the bag.
The government seems to be preparing the Midwest for something…..but what?
Here is the link to the Illinois website mentioned above. http://www.illinois.gov/ready/Pages/default.aspx
