OT Survived earthquake!!

Talked to my friend in the same town as Pat....they had quite a shake, but
no damage or injuries. However, they're still in the midst of smoke from
fires in the Great Dismal Swamp in NC, and they now have Irene heading in
their direction. I suggested that my friends there move to PA!!!

I have some other friends in the area (a couple of neigbourhoods over) -
they reported about 10 sec of shaking, but nothing happened (nothing
knocked over on shelves eg.).

duck and cover? usually I just dash to get the cars out of the garage
when we have a good sized quake. Hey, the firemen do that why
shouldn't we? Glad you are all ok. It is unnerving though. Taria

Haven't heard from her either. Did a quick search through the posts I
have available to me and I don't see any for this year. Am I searching
on the wrong thing?

We're all OK here. Just a few papers & books fell, and those were
precariously stacked anyway. And we later noticed a new crack in the
front step. I did a walk-around inspection after that and found
nothing else.

I spent most of the quake standing in the kitchen doorway holding
36+lbs of clingy boy (who had been just about to go down for his nap)
while calling Lisa to make sure we were all okay and we all knew it.

Found out later they evacuated an area downtown after gas was found
leaking into the sewer system, until it was fixed. (What a day that
would have been for some dumb kid to decide to flush a cherry bomb.)

Only felt one aftershock, a 4.5 last night. We started to get up to
get the boy but it faded out then. Apparently there have been several
aftershocks I never even felt.http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquak.../US2/37.39.-79...

We're in Fredericksburg, by the way.

No damage here - but we did have shaking. At first I thought it was
the dogs moving the office chair then I thought it was the washer on
it's final cycle. Found out it was neither. Was sewing w/14 y.o,
friend's daughter and didn't want to scare her when both parents
checked in. Dogs and she were napping and woke up to things vibrating
but that is as far as it go. Just prepping for Irenene now. Upgraded
from a hurricane watch to hurricane warning. Haven't seen particulars
yet. Head to the grocery store today???????

Howdy!

From Pat Winters via FB:
"Earthquake was a moving experience! It was a quick and harmless shuffle in
my town. The hurricane is in full force. Good news about that is that it put
out the huge fire in the Great Dismal Swamp that had been spreading bad air
all over the area for weeks. Thanks for asking ... gotta go."

Back to quilting in the sizzle that is n.Tx....
