YOW....just had a 5.0 a few miles from here. REALLY shook stuff up, knocked a few things off my shelves, but no damage I can see. Checked the building, and all seems OK...no broken glass or anything. The phones are still out (par for the course), but I emailed my son and girlfriend, and they're OK.
This is the fourth big bump I've been through since I moved out to SoCal in 1980, and the first time it rattled *me*!
Admiral Yamamoto infamously said "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a man with a rifle behind every blade of grass."
And so it should be, a nation of riflemen....

Many folks don't realize that Georgia sits on a fault line.
Nonetheless,glad to hear most everything is okay.
Glad you're okay!
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! The first hit was a real jolt....just about knocked me out of my chair! This was stronger here than the Northridge quake in 1994, but then it was a whole lot closer.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're okay! Those are NOT fun...
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear you are ok. We had a little one here in Indiana.
ReplyDeleteI remember back in 1971 when I lived in Northern Illinois we had a small one. About 3 on the Richter scale, IIRC.
ReplyDeleteScared the daylights out of everybody.
Wonder what my friends 'back home' would have done Sunday night when this one jolted us back to reality.
