35 miles south of us:

Anthony Vining, who lives in the epicenter in Mineral, Va., said, "I thought it was a plane breaking the sound barrier, but then it started getting more intense. Things started falling off the shelves. Shelves were breaking. I was running out the back door I watched the chimney fall. All the wood I have piled up against the house came down, animals running through the yard.""The sound of it was like a hundred times worse than thunder. It was like the sky was falling. The sound came from the ground."

Thankfully, our chimney is still standing. Hope we have a roof and our trees after the hurricane comes on Sunday.

I'm so glad you guys are OK, Kristin. The news said it was felt all the way over here, though I didn't notice. I will keep you in my prayers for Sunday as well.

I was afraid there would be lots of reports like that in their area.

LOL, I'm sure they do think we are silly. I have experienced a couple of 6 + earthquakes in Malibu, and this one still scared me. We aren't built for this stuff on the East Coast.

I was in my car at a stop light and my car was shaking. I thought something was wrong with my Jeep -- turned the radio down, turned the air off, was wondering what was wrong. Then the stoplights all went out and then I tried to call my mom and my phone was cut out! I seriously thought the world was coming to an end for a brief second... LOL, or at least all technology had come to a crash. The only thing I could get through on was Facebook. So at least we know when all else fails, Facebook will still be there.

Lol. Jackson was with me today all day running my errands and dog walks. He was fine though. It was definitely not as bad in the car. He kind of acted a little weird beforehand though, almost like he was sensing something. His ears were all perked up.

That was crazy though! My grandma works in the hospital and said the whole building was shaking and it looked like the buildings were swaying. Everyone ran out of my mom's salon too. My dad said he was in the Verizon store and the girls behind the counter were all screaming saying the building was collapsing and he ran out of there so fast and saw the street/parking lot shaking too!

^^Facebook will be there when the world ends, lol.

Max and Teddy were scared stiff, I think. They focused on me intently, waiting to see how I would react. Normally Max would bark to alert me.

I'm so sorry..what a scary experience. I've only experienced hurricanes...but at least those are well- tracked and they don't come out of nowhere. Glad to hear you're safe.

Maximo · 08-23-2011, 01:52 PM

I'm sure my California friends will appreciate this:
