The house where I grew up in central Virginia was located near a rock quarry - you could almost set your alarms by the blasts that would shake our whole house, knocking pictures askew, rattling things off of shelves, etc. That is the closest I came to an earthquake, so I cannot imagine what you are going through. Hope everything is o.k. You have the earthquakes there and we have the hurricanes here - we are looking at big old nasty Ike to affect us this week and I am going back to work on Monday (night“shaft”) so I am sure I will be scheduled overtime. Hope we do not have to evacuate. Best of luck to you with your quakes - sounds scary.
