## Resource

West Texas just had a double shake — a 5.1 quake rattled the Panhandle early, followed by a 3.9 near Westbrook later that day, felt even in Midland. These tremors? Caused by tectonic plates grinding and releasing built-up stress. Scientists say quakes aren’t happening more often — we’re just spotting more thanks to better tech. With more people and buildings in risky zones, the danger’s rising. Can’t predict quakes? Nope — not anytime soon. But you can survive them: drop, cover, and hold on. Stay put unless you’re near a tsunami risk. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
