2010. Earth has the power.

01/12/2010 - Haiti earthquake
02/27/2010 - Chili earthquake
4/13/2010 - China earthquake
4/14/2010 - Iceland volcano

With all of this activity happening so closely together thus far in 2010, when Utah had their own little 4.9 earthquake on 4/15/2010 at 6:01 PM MST, it was more than a little unnerving. I was sitting on my couch, reading, when the house started to sway, my water in my glass tilted, and a general sense of uneasiness crept across my skin.
Of course, all of my childhood earthquake preparedness classes failed me, as I didn't get to a safe place.
All was well this time, but emergency preparedness is now a priority.
