Earthquakes are just not in my field of reference.
I do remember a much smaller one (3.something) in NY back in the early 80s

Because there is no warning and you have no control, it is sometimes like being in a bombing or other violent episode; the effects to your system might hang on a while. Just talk about it to all who will listen...share your feelings and concerns. It really does help when you feel like you're not so alone.
