I've only flown into Charleston, but man, what history and beauty is there.
Charleston is one of our favorite cities, right behind Washington, D.C. We love the architecture and church steeples and wrought iron gates and gardens. We nearly moved there but threats of hurricanes made us reconsider and now we're in a beautiful little town inland that Money mag and others have called one of the prettiest towns in America. And the town is filled with Republicans!
FoxNews is now saying the quake magnitude has been elevated from 8.9 to 9.0.
Mr. Prairie was explaining to me that the Richter scale is logarithmic based so a move from 8.9 to 9.0 is much more significant than 4.9 to 5.0 for instance.
