Jesus .. earthquake here in Transylvania County!
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. ;-)

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.
