Never have experienced an earthquake, hurricane, tsunami, .etc. (Tornado, yes, but not very destructive) and I, hopefully, never will...
It is very scary knowing that the town in which I live in, in Minnesota, is on a fault line. Last quake here was in the 70's, I think, near where I'm sitting right now; I think it was a 5.0; last one was in 94' near Minneapolis - 3.1, I believe.
Very scary that something like that could happen in our world (referring to China quake), and that it can happen so fast, at that, with little warning.
Prayers go out to the middle school students in China; don't know how many were lost or injured, but it's tragic that something like that can happen...
