Ever since kindergarten duck and cover drills have seemed to be a waste of time. However last Saturday, November 5, for the first time they finally paid off. The magnitude 5.6 earthquakes that took place in Oklahoma this weekend could be felt all the way to the Fort Worth area and it shook many Coppell residents.

“I was in Oklahoma when it happened and I thought somebody was running around the house.” Lainee Schorgl, “Then we realized it was an earthquake so we went to a door frame until it stopped.”

However, even those who were in Coppell for the earthquake still felt its rattling power.

“The sign on my wall started to shake and so did my medals.” Senior Whitney Picket said, “That’s how I knew it had started.”

Luckily there appears to be no real damage or injuries from the earthquake in the Coppell area. For Coppell residents it was a rare occurrence and definitely gave people something to talk about.
