Default Earthquake

Washington D. C. needs shaking up, but THIS is NOT what was in mind. Hope everone is safe. News is saying 6.0. Felt it here in Saratoga - rocking, vibrations, cabinet doors flew open, dogs howling for about 20 - 30 seconds. Very unsettling.

I read Colorado had a 5.3 last night as well.. Very strange.


Been a year for the record books that's for sure.


I guess we all need to start crossing some things off our Bucket lists pretty dang quick.

About 40 miles away from the epicenter on the 23rd floor - fun!

Didn't feel or notice a thing.

In case anyone is worried, however, Justin Dew has informed me that he has survived and is A OK.

Washington monument has tilted according to fox news. I also understand that because of the dense rock on the east coast it is felt further than an earthquake in California but the 200 mile radius surrounding the epicenter suffers far less damage.

This is going to be a nightmare.

I'd advise getting far away from the coast and cities. Power outages in the cities = mass chaos.

New York City will be a death trap if the winds are 100+ mph.

Evacuations should be mandatory at this point.
