Apparently they consider me to be an 'over reactor'. I think I'm just ultra sensitive. I've experienced more than a few earthquakes, and they really knock my internal gyro off kilter, for an extended period of time. Even the mild ones we have experienced in Michigan can send my adrenaline on high gear so I completely empathize with these anchors!
