My first earthquake........

[mrspunkysmom]

So today at work, I mentioned the earthquake. The science had felt it and thought it too small to mention. He admits that at first he thought he was having leg tremors. He checked online and saw it was an earthquake.

The asst principal felt it but didn't say anything because he thought people would think he was crazy. Others felt it too, but many of us (except the science teacher) have never experienced one, so we didn't know what to say.

The admins at 8 of our schools panicked and evacuated the schools. Oops.

Sorry to hear about the Washington Monument. Hopefully they'll figure a way to retrofit it and the National Cathedral.

Glad I live where hurricanes are unheard of (almost). I heard on the news that Atalntic City is getting hunkered down for a hurricane, probably the same one that might hit the rest of the coast. Seems they've evacuated a few towns already just to be on the safe side and people were given notice to stock up on food items and such. That would send chills up my spine. I'm not too brave when I read about the damage done by hurricanes.

I didn't feel anything here in Knoxville :/ I bet if I'd been in Johnson City I might have.

I'm glad no one was seriously injured; however, my mom just informed me that the Lincoln Memorial in D.C. is going to have to be closed indefinitely for repairs due to the earthquake
