Who has a story about the earthquake on Friday? I'm sure I wasn't the only one jolted out of bed thinking a car had smashed into my house or someone kicked in the back door.

I'm a native Hoosier and this is the fifth such shaking I've lived through, but no matter how many times it happens, you're never prepared for it.

Friday was a busy day in the BannerGraphic newsroom with the earthquakes and the fire at the gravel pit down at Cloverdale. It seems like news comes in waves.

Speaking of waves, the shockwaves rattled through at least twice but didn't seem to cause any damage. I heard a man from Brazil call in to one of the Indianapolis news stations and say his bed moved "two or three feet" and his kids' TV fell off its nightstand. Hmmm.

Anyhow, it looked like they received quite a bit of damage in southern Illinois and I would guess there was some in Indiana too.

I've seen a lot of news about earthquake insurance. Does anyone in Putnam County have it. And is it very expensive?
