I love where I live. In fact I'm just about to renew the lease on my 10th floor apartment, but I must admit that recent events have given me something to think about. Watching video of buildings collapsing in Syria and Turkey has reminded me that Indiana sits on a fault and an earthquake is a real, although slight, possibility. I'm really not spending much time thinking about this. I figure if this building collapses I'll be beyond worrying about it. On the other hand, the recent train derailment in East Palestine (evidently pronounced Palesteen) Ohio has made me more aware of the trains that run past our buildings day and night. If any cars derailed it would be rather spectacular as they would fall off the overpass and block our only parking lot exit currently open if we had to evacuate. There are several trains during the day and night, and I actually like the sound but I am wondering if there are any restrictions on what kinds of freight can be hauled through Fort Wayne. I should do some research, or maybe it's better if I remain blissfully ignorant.
