Not me. Just got home, this is the first I've heard of it.

CALLING AZG

Earthquake supposedly in your area. Check in immediately.

I was standing on the front porch when it hit; broke a couple of dishes and all our wall pictures were skewed.

Pretty cool in an "I'm okay" way!!

whew! Glad you were home and are safe. Earthquakes scare me. At least with a hurricane you know it's coming

Yeah, I just did too, but no details on TV here yet - I read that as far away as Cranston RI felt shocks. Also referred to a quake on Maui.

The news is freaking out!! Boneheads!!!

It's a rocking day in the geology world! :D It made the house sway, water was trembly, cat looked around, but that was it. Not scary. I was on a phone conference with work, 10 miles away, and they got it about 5 minutes later. AZGman, glad you're ok!

edit to add: Devastation!

Thanks.

Glad to see everyone is ok. I have more of a chance seeing the hurricane than I did that earthquake.

I'm waiting for volcanoes.

I see nothing further about a quake on Maui thank goodness.

Are you calling me a bonehead? I was concerned because you could have been in your car on your way home and stuck in ungodly traffic until after Labor Day!

You do know that Seattle and the suburbs thereof are on a faultline? Not aware of - oh wait, yes I am. Ranier could blow I guess.

You never know. I mean, it would be totally interesting if it did blow.

Daughter lives out that way, and she had to buy earthquake insurance.

If you look at hinds county in mississippi it sits directly on top of an inactive (at the moment) volcanoe!

Did not know that - Mississippi for some reason just does not seem that it would be a place with a volcano. Isn't it pretty flat?

We are still in SC and didn't feel it. Hope everybody around DC is OK. We have been packing the car and cleaning the condo. We are driving a Jetta TDI so we don't have much room but are getting terrific mileage. Looks like Irene might go farther of east of us.

edit: School starts Thursday so we have to go home tomorrow!

The "delta" is but not the whole state.

Jackson, MS volcano

Made quesadillas for the first time tonight. Pretty good.

Hello?

yum!

I missed it

Were you driving at the time? It would have had to be a bit stronger to feel it in a moving car - unless the roads on L.I. are smooth as glass!!

//snort!!

Hot damn! They have to update our taxable real estate values every three years and our appraised value dropped $12,000. I realize this isn't good for people trying to sell, but for us, it will lower our property tax bill.

G'night.

Is that what the kids are calling "it" now days?

pooflady wrote:How was your vacation?

It was a good time.
Except for that the Lincoln memorial had no water.
Not in the reflection pool
Not in the water fountains
Not in the facilities (which apparently didn't stop some people )
The remaining available facilities were veritably "destroyed"
Gotta love tourists.

@joyner: we have a Jetta Sportwagen TDI, and got an average of 42mpg for the whole trip. yay.

I didn't feel a thing from the earthquake, but I'm sure sick of that one picture of the lawn furniture.

Right now it kind of looks like D'name's going to have a hurricane sitting on her doorstep in a few days.

Hopefully it will be weak and my worst problem is getting the dog to poo in the rain.


Lets see if I can figure out the captcha....

Cross your fingers. It does kind of seem to keep bearing east.
