Is everybody up there OK?

yelp all is OK, but it did get me out of bed early.

But who is going to put a cache at the epicenter?

WOKE ME UP! Just across the state line from Ft. Payne. Cats were all freaked out for about an hour. Sounded like thunder or an explosion at the least.

I just thought it was my Alarm clock.

I believe it may have even affected down here cause I woke up quickly around five according to the clock but didnt feel anything and then later heard about the earthquake. Star94 said there are reports as far away as kentucky and NC reporting feeling it.
Also look for it to appear here. See CA is not the only place to have them.
BTW did anyone experience any more damage than things falling off the shelf?

If war protesters don't believe in violence what would they do if we punched them in the nose?

Here is a map that shows where and how it was felt.

Ohh, wait a sec, that was the 6.8 in Seattle/Olympia (Nisqually) a couple years back.. My bad..

My GPSr is Trans-Portable and has a Ford Ranger mounted to it.


Edited to correct quake magnitude.

Just woke us up long enough to roll over.
Twarn't nuttin compared to riding out Hurricane Camille. That was scary!

Woke up to what sounded like the kids running thru the house real fast...Rainbow's wardrobe has a loose door...rattle rattle...Realized other things were shaking just a little...hey cool...an earthquake..checked clock and promptly fell back to sleep...my wife (Rainbow) remembers nothing about it.

No kidding! I remember Opal myself. I was talking to a guy in CA about our earthquake and told him that a hurricane is worse because it last for hours.

One thing I have wondered about is Rocktown.
I wonder if the champagne glass rock fell over?
I may do that cache soon to go see what happened up there.

a friend and I tying ourselves to streetlamps on the seawall of Lake Pontchartrain and watching a catagory 1 hurricane pass over us. Very stupid, but exhilaraing! Camille was something else. I thought the end of the world was near. It is still ranked among the strongest to make landfall in the US. (200 plus sustained mph) The devastation the morning after was totally unreal.
Hurricane Camille
Hurricane Opal
I have never encountered a REAL earthquake, so I am not afraid of them (until I do). I had never encountered a tornado until I moved to GA and wasn't afraid of them either. I am now!!! I lived in Dahlonega for a couple of years and came face to face with a catagory 3-4 twister when it demolished my brother-in-laws' nearby home. Such devastastion in such a short time. Thank goodness their fury is isolated to a small swath.
But all-in-all, a catagory 5 hurricane is much more frightening. The energy expended lasts for hours on end, not to mention the tornados that are spun off!


It's not nice to fool Monther Nature!

In May 1989 A tornado passed the road about 200 feet behind my truck. This was a very interesting experience.

I had no idea we had an earthquake until I went to work that evening and everyone was talking about it. I thought "Oh..that explains why the cat has been a little jerk all day!"

That brings back a lot of memories for me. Bear in mind I was only 6 years old at the time, but we lived in Albemarle County, VA ... only a mile or two from the Nelson County line. Luckily we lived on high ground, because the night Camille passed through, 31 inches of rain fell in two hours. It was like living under a waterfall. I remember my dad and I riding around the next morning, in the places where there were still intact roads in Nelson County, looking at the damage and learning new respect for nature

Just fed the coords of the Epicenter into the Seek a cache page and got this list. There nine caches within 10 miles of it.
