GREENVILLE, Ohio (WDTN) - "I was really surprised we were doing it because we never get earthquakes and when we do they are really small," said Greenville Fifth Grader Taylor Denniston.
She was among the hundreds of students who participated in the Great Central US Shakeout on Thursday at Greenville South Middle School.
At 10:15 a.m. students were advised to get under their desks and hold on. The earthquake drill only lasted a couple minutes.
How common are earthquakes in Ohio? According the the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, since record keeping began in 1776 at least 200 earthquakes with epicenters in Ohio have been felt. At least 15 earthquakes have caused minor to moderate damage in Ohio.
