Eartquake and tsunami wreak havoc in Mid-Atlantic States!!!!

OK, so I got a phone call from my daughter-in-law this afternoon wondering why her house was shaking. I told her it must have been a big truck going by her house.
.
WRONG!!!!
.
It was a friggin' earthquake! And I thought I left this crap in California. Now this 5.8 rattler may not seem like a big deal to those from the left coast, but around here, this is a HUGE deal.

Seriously? I'm telling you, the two of us here in my house felt zero, zip, nada!

Not that I feel slighted mind you. I lived through 5 or 6 good snaps in CA. I'm all good on the seismic roller coaster effect thanks!

However, I currently AM prepping for the freakin' hurricane. And all this goes on while I play at being sea sick from an inner ear thing.

(I was, BTW, never sea sick WHILE actually AT sea)

If my week gets any better I'll throw a party and invite you all!

And I must have missed the WH press meeting this PM. Did they blame GWB for the earthquake?

Spider said...

No. They blamed Palin.

Yeah bud, when it hit i was ready to bail! The last time i felt anything like that was when i was with this Puerto Rican nurse i used to know. She could, er, um,... oh well, i'll tell you when i see you. Now they're saying to expect after shocks. Like living here isn't enough of a shock.

Yeah, to hear it locally you'd have thought the earth opened and swallowed Virginia in masse.

The tsunami was one of foolish people and their more foolish opinions and fears.

Yeah, it's a helluva week. An earthquake and a hurricane. Fun, fun, fun at the Schteveo compound.

We're headed out to the "Pop Shop" (my 40' cargo container) to straighten stuff out in there so 6 people can hunker down if need be.
