Congratulations! You can live in LA or Seattle now without fear!
Granddaughter in Cary felt it. I didn’t .
I was in bed in NJ drifting in and out of sleep after a long night of traveling... the shaking and rattling woke me up.
I was in CA yesterday near L.A., and in my semiconscious state I thought ‘cool, another CA earthquake’.
Then I realized I was in NJ, not CA. Whoa! That’s when I was a little alarmed!
They shut down JFK and Newark airports, I hear.
I was in a 7.6 once. Now THAT was an earthquake.
Dayton went into hiding again, just in case.
NEWSFLASH!!
Fox just reported that the Washington Monument may be leaning!!
If that is not a sign..I don’t know what is!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!
I might have felt it here in Atlanta, or it could have been the burrito I had for lunch.
FReepers are everywhere............and they’re fast!...................
PS. Noth Anna Nuclear plant, near Mineral VA was shut down.
Go OVLL!!!
I think the Landlord is trying to tell them something.
Can you hear us NOW?
ROFL!!!
We had out of town guests over the weekend. Took them to see Shenandoah Caverns.
That would have been interesting, today ...
Let's see...centered in Louisa Co. VA...home to "one of the country's oldest secular communes" as part of the "back to the land" movement:
The Twin Oaks Community is one of the country's oldest secular communes, established by its first eight members in 1967. This was part of a national movement among numerous young people to "get back to the land" and live in more simple ways based in community. Louisa is also home to the Acorn Community, a rural, cooperative, income sharing community on about 80 acres, founded in 1993 by one of the founding member of Twin Oaks, Kat Kincade. Another newly forming community as of 2011 is the Living Energy Farm, a 'neo-Amish' farm, where no fossil fuels will be used but new technologies such as solar will be embraced. Louisa is becoming a hub of cooperative rural communities.

Are you serious!
The other girl in my wife’s office here in Fayetteville felt it - my wife didn’t - then the guys that worked out back on a large cement lot called the office saying the ground shook.
I missed the whole thing as I was walking.
Reports the Washington Monument might be leaning? What the Heck!
Man, five lousy seconds! :)
Get on your roof wait for the helicopters. They’ll be there real soon. Promise.
Are you close to the Anna nuclear power plant?
