Some of you may recall my house got slammed by Hurricane Isabel - we have just now finished the repairs! (4 months!).

So today I am getting an eye exam, and everything starts vibrating, then moving a bit - I thought a 747 was headed for the building and hit the deck!

Turns out central Virginia had a minor earthquake, 4.5 on the Rectum Scale! Epicenter only 20 miles from my house!

So I race home in the Sube, and what do I check first? You got it - The Snake in the garage. Is that totally Sick or what?

Everything is OK, including the mansion. Wheeww!

How do you SoCals get used to this crap. I know a fault line runs along the James River here, but this got everyone riled up.

 

Sweet Jesus!

That is uncool! Glad to hear the snake is OK. I was in one in CA. Those poeple are nutty to deal with em. Glad everything is alright. When is the S arriving?

 

Hurricanes . . . watch for days as they head your way, nail plywood on windows, fight crowds for essentials, wind builds for hours, rain coming down in sheets, wind increases, blows so hard you'd swear nothing will be left standing, wind slacks off, storm passes, rubble everywhere.

Earthquakes . . . building rattles for a few seconds, ask coworker if he thinks that was an earthquake, confirm it probably was, go back to work, go home, pick up pieces of $2 vase.

Give me a good old earthquake any day.

 

Forget the car,
how was your eye exam??

 

Only an eye doctor would say this

Good to hear everything is ok

Earthquakes are fun. They should be greeted with relief, rather than apprehension. When you feel a little earthquake, that's good news because the fault has released some of it's energy that would have otherwise been saved up for a huge one later.

You should only be worried when you DON'T feel any earthquakes for a long time.

 

You got your car? Good SHIET.

 

If you have full coverage would your car get covered if it get damage during an earthquake?

 

OK, no one else got that?!? Sorry, it just sounded funny.

As for the quakes....I'm actually looking forward to the BIG one here. Scientists said that when it comes, we Cen Valley people will have beach front property!! OK, I would still share with those that lived onthe coast, but I would charge hella rent!!!

Glad to hear your baby's OK. I heard about it yesterday, but I didnt think it was that strong.
