[DemoTex]

Lasted about 30 seconds. Bad omen. Dishes rattled, house shook. Can it be?

1. In NC? For real?

Tell me more. I know their is a fault line somewhere running through NC and SC, but... Are you in the Transylvania County in NC?

3. That's what I was wondering about.

It felt like trucks or trains on an overhead bridge for about 30 seconds. Maybe I'm crazy. Watch for my next post on another topic.

4. I saw that. Your post said it wasn't there, then that it was. It was quick

too. I saw it when they changed the data. Reloaded. Sure thing. It was an earthquake. Wow. I love like 125 miles from where it happened.

6. I'll see your earthquake, and trade you my hurricane

(presently a tropical storm soon to be updated). Planet Earth doesn't like neocons...trying to toss them into outer space. Unfortunately, the rest of us live here too!

11. I've noticed that too. I wish Mother Nature would spare us and

just take care of them. Unfortunately, it won't work that way. Too bad. They sure wish the worst on us a lot of the time.

8. yup, I sure felt it over in Macon County, NC...

windows were shaking, house felt like it swayed a bit.

I was smack in the middle of Northridge in Cal., plus dozens of others throughout my youth in SoCal. Earthquakes make me homesick, in a weird way. ;-)

10. Wow?! Hello fellow North Carolinians!

Can't believe y'all got rocked tonight! :hi:

Hope everything's okay.

13. Howdy. Richmond County here.

Too bad those things can be destructive. I'd like to know what it's
like in a safe simulator only. OthHowdy. Too bad those things canerwise, nope. I really hate funky weather. I have a yellow streak on my belly a mile wide and I only weigh 125 lbs., so you can imagine just how chicken I am. I'm such a wuss. Anyhow, Weather obsessing is like a hobby of mine.

12. Were there bats flying all over?

How about the vampires? Are the vampires ok?

14. 3.8?

Here along the San Andreas fault, that wouldn't even wake up my cat.
