No real damage 'round these parts - scared the $#it outta Rachel & the kids -- I've been through a quake like that; the rest of 'em haven't.

The news says it was a 4.5, centered on the GA/AL border west of Rome, GA. No damage or injuries, just scared the daylights out of most folks.

Funnt that most people here (including my wife!) are descibing "like a tornado" (which are very frequent out here).

Yet in CA, earthquakes are common, and tornadoes rare. Heck, even thunderstorms are rare.

I can imagine. With what is going on now a days. Last thing you would expect is an Earthquake.

Please do not send us any tornadoes in exchange. : )
