The Power of Earthquakes


Anytime I hear there was an earthquake I wonder how big it is. Usually Somebody will say 4.0 or 5.0 and I think no big deal. Right?


I was reading an article and the title said 1000 lose their homes, so I just assumed that it must have been a big earthquake. Instead it was just a 5.5 magnitude earthquake. Reading this exposed me to a whole new idea of earthquakes. They are an insanely powerful force and if a big earthquke hit near Chicago then we are in big trouble.
