(22,772 posts)totally caught off guard in cities that had absolutely no infrastructure in place to handle those quakes and tremors. I thought it was horrible.
I'm from Minnesota and we've had to contend with some shocking blizzards that shut down the city - and most recently - the polar vortex had closed schools for several days. That said - we Minnesotans spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on plowing, salting and sanding because this is our climate - it's what we know and what we expect.
Mocking those who do not have the infrastructure in place for freak occurrences is so dismissive and hurtful. I'm so sorry that happened to you.
My heart goes out to those who are shaken and scared. Unfortunately, with climate change, this will be all too common now.
