Apparently, while I was sleeping this morning, Israel experienced an earthquake (5 on the Richter scale). no casualties, but suddenly all the media and the government  are all “We don't have any emergency plans! what happens if this gets worse?” and all that crap. You know. Stuff that , in the usual Israeli manner, it takes casualties to consider.
And I slept through all that very peacefully. Go figure.
