Mid-Continent Quakes
"Everyone know about the Great Dustbowl era in Oklahoma History?"
I know my mom (who didn't leave) said they'd tape the sugar bowl shut, put it inside the cabinet, and dust would still get in.

About quake insurance: Friends in Tulsa had to move out and spend tens (? I forget what) of thousands in repairs after the 2011 Nov 5 quake near OKC. I felt that one 50 miles the other side of Tulsa.
Not only do mid-continent quake waves cause more damage at a distance, nothing here is built to stand up to quakes!

Honestly! You want that mug! Especially if you weren't there.)
