Think earthquakes can't happen here? Think again.

Recently, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake occurred in Virginia, hit the nation's capital of Washington, D.C. and was felt in New York -- both of which are unaccustomed to earthquakes occurring -- among other states. According to a recent article I stumbled across, "The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake was half a mile deep. Shaking was felt at the White House and all over the East Coast, as far south as Chapel Hill, N.C."

 Did you know that Indiana is connected with several fault lines within and surrounding the state? Although earthquakes here are rare, they can happen. Having earthquake insurance is an important part of being prepared in the case that we ever experience an earthquake or feel the effect of one like many people did recently.
