Im sure some extra inspections will be needed.
Chuck, hoping everyones ok, Woke me up in Mason OH.
However, HW might be a little more concerning (especially if you've seen the Evansville news station YouTube vids), BUT...since it didn't last long, I'm guessing HW will be ok, but inspections will be needed....

Sorry...I find it very hard to believe anyone in Florida felt this quake. Pensacola, the closest major city in Florida to the epicenter (Salem, Ill) is 700 miles away. I'm only 350 miles away from the epicenter of the San Francisco shaker of 1989, which was almost 1,000x stronger, and I didn't feel a thing, and I was watching it happen live on the World Series.
EDIT - Paula posted about it on the HoliBlog, right as she was experiencing the 4.5 aftershock.

Great sense of humor shown by Paula, though, making it a point to quickly tell everyone the coasters are okay!

While no doubt the folks at HW got quite a wake-up call this morning I'm sure all is fine at the park
Especially when you consider how wood coasters like Rattler at SFFT shake and move like a Slinky in that YouTube vid someone posted!!

The real question now is how to tie in an earthquake theme and holiday theme in a ride.
Hmmmm...
Snow globe ride? Folks shake those pretty good. Sounds expensive though...well...I mean a safe version of course.
