I'm glad that it wasn't bad. I really hope that it was the only one. I would hate for a really violent one to happen to you.Jonathan Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18042973503444483347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500914075655239539.post-86650072458954150822011-08-24T18:46:24.828-05:002011-08-24T18:46:24.828-05:00we saw the same photo, captioned "2011 VA ear...we saw the same photo, captioned "2011 VA earthquake. we WILL rebuild"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500914075655239539.post-42278339516332055982011-08-24T18:04:15.999-05:002011-08-24T18:04:15.999-05:00If I may, I'd like to provide some insight int...If I may, I'd like to provide some insight into the earthquake that happened yesterday here in Virginia. While some stories in the media seem to be "over rated," many have been accurately portrayed. Yes, I do laugh about some situations that happened to me yesterday as a result of the earthquake; but overall, it was and is a very serious situation, with some sad ramifications. Specifically, the National Cathedral has sustained damage, and some local people have had cracks show up in their walls. Personally, it was nerve racking to wonder if the glass in the laboratory cabinets was going to shatter over my head, or if the floor would sustain itself. And, the sound itself was disturbing. The earthquake that occurred yesterday was a 5.8 in magnitude. The February earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, were rated between 5.0 and 6.3, and the results were devastating. So, while I laugh about some situations, I am also in alert, watching and ready to flee the building...again...should this earthquake be only a foretaste of one to come.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540941148726315019noreply@blogger.com
