TRINIDAD, COLO. -- Earthquake damage is not something many people worry about in Colorado, but some residents are finding out the hard way that maybe they should.
Colorado officials said they have no money to help victims of Monday's rare earthquake, but a Department of Local Affairs spokesperson said that the state is able to provide technical support.
That support includes geological analysis, water quality testing and even aerial photography.
Just to add insult to injury, some victims who suffered damages during the 5.3 tremor near Trinidad found that their insurance does not cover earthquakes.
Store owners have said that they lost merchandise, while some homeowners found cracks in walls, even toppled chimneys.
Monday's quake was the state's largest since 1967 and was felt as far away as Denver and even the Kansas border.
According to the National Earthquake Information Center since Monday's earthquake several aftershocks have rattled the southern part of the state, the most recent coming Thursday afternoon.
