Seismic activity must be the problem then. It’s happened a little there at times all along. Anyway, it appears that there’s no serious structural problem.
If Israel comes under heavy attack in the near future, consider getting quake insurance. The greater New Madrid quakes have been magnificent rollers—not so jarring. If a good one ever comes and finds you outdoors, join in the fun with the neighbors and animals by putting hands in the air and screaming. ;-)
[Little humor there.]
We got quake Insurance as soon as we got our homeowners policy. No flood insurance, though as we live way up high on a hill, and no rivers near enough to worry about anyway.
Had I known we lived so close to a quake area, I would have had some extra stuff done when the house was built. When they were predicting one 1989 or 1990, the company I worked for had these books that explained how houses could be strengthened, but ours was already built, and what they talked about applied to houses in process.
Hubby knew about it when we moved here, but he didn’t tell me. I probably would not have moved here, if I had known. I love the Springfield area, and would have preferred to be there. Now, we have kids, grandkids, and great grandkids here and in St. Louis. Just nieces and nephews in Springfield, so we’ll just stay put.
