East coast earthquake

Well that was one more check off my bucket list! While it was "only" a 5.8 I believe that was sufficient and I will be happy to never feel another quake. I definitely did not know what was happening. At first I thought we had large equipment/machinery showing up that I didn't know about. But then the rumbling and shaking got stronger and I noticed the walls moving. At that point I ushered two other employees out of the building until it stopped (I figure we don't have the same building codes that west coasters enjoy). Ah well. Glad that is over. Now let's get through this hurricane.

Looks like I won't be making my trip to the Old Silver Beach Saturday .
Going to get some water and check all of the flashlights. From what I saw this morning, it is probably going to take a track similar to Hurricane Bob, which came through in 91. We were on the heavy rain side, as opposed to heavy wind. Power was out for 6 hours, although right around us, some had power out for 2-3 days. At least we have town water now,as having a well makes things more complicated when the power goes out.

Be safe! Hopefully there won't be a direct landfall for this one.
