Earthquake In Texas
An earthquake with a 3.4 magnitude hit Dallas Texas but no serious damage was done and there were no injuries. The airport was able to continue with their regular flight plans. Some houses had cracked walls and ceilings but that was the extent to the damage.
I posted this article because it is an example of how natural hazards in the United States get more attention than more serious hazards in other parts of the world. No one was injured and there was almost more damage but it got more coverage than the 7.3 earthquake that hit Columbia.
