6. felt one here in 98? 99?

in Chapel Hill. I was in a basement library working. For a few moments i didn't know if the floor was going to come up, or the 2 stories above me were going to come down (of course that was a rapid speculation in my mind, not actual).

It didn't even get reported on the local news until the next day ...

[Wilber_Stool]

11. I sure did

I thought it might have been a truck. Lots of work going on here.

13. North Asheville.......definitely!

As a native Californian I'm used to earthquakes but thought I was through with them after moving here seven years ago.

[starmaker]

14. i did in clyde

1st one i've ever felt

2 mi from Hot Springs

[libnnc]

18. I wonder if my mom felt it in (Hazelwood) Waynesville?

if you felt it in Clyde, I'll bet she felt it too.

[starmaker]

20. only a second or two long

i knew it was something different

By the way did you hear about all the baptist in an uproar about the methodists
at Lake Junaluska?

[libnnc]

21. baptists in Waynesville are always

in an uproar. LOL



When I was a teenager, it was the Baptist kids who got all the cool jobs at Lake Junaluska in the summer -- us Methodist kids did't stand a chance. What the hell are they pissed about now?

[starmaker]

22. Meeting of gay/lesbian group

Not affiliated with the methodist per se just using the facilities
but the baptist have lit up the ltte of the mountaineer the last two weeks
even the methodists passed out a letter from the bishop who said it did not go
against the meth. discipline. my mom said she might come back this weekend to check it out. Possible Baptist protest. I haven't read any papers in a while yet i know it has stirred up those who want to judge others

[libnnc]

23. oh good grief...must call mom this week to get the dirt

I'm sure The Mountaineer will offer balanced coverage :sarcasm:

thanks for the heads up

[starmaker]

24. thought you might be interested

after the east way bap scandal
way to go girl Tuscola class of ?

[libnnc]

25. that be class of '89

Go Mountaineers!

15. Yep in Candler.

Felt it in Candler (West of Asheville). I too thought it was a truck at first, but it rattled too hard and too long. I reported it.

[mikita]

16. I am stunned at how many people are up reading this

obscure state thread at this time of night!

I think we should party!!!

:party: :toast:

[Hissyspit]

17. I didn't feel anything; I'm near Fayetteville, but I'm up.
