Yeah, they've been doing that here too. They are taking every phone call, and putting them on television. NOTHING is more funny than older southern Illinois hillbillies on T.V. relating how petrified they are. One poor old lady went into a sad story about how noone ever checks up on her, how her husband passed away, the whole story of her kids moving away, etc. The uncomfortable look on the newscaster's face was priceless. He kept trying to get her off the air, but she just wouldn't stop talking. He did put her on hold though, and got her info and sent the sherriff out to check on her. Poor old gal.

Ummm, the ground shook, no one died, no damage reported around here, let's get on with life.

By the end of the day, the same guy that predicted the end of the world as we know it the last time we had a tremor, will be all over doing the same thing again. It was just so convenient that he has a book that you can buy to tell you what to stock up on to survive when the New Madrid Fault lets go.
