We saw the Washington Monument long after, and it still had scaffolding from that particular quake. And yes, that was the definition of a great game. LV has not one, but two incredible goalies, not to mention the rest of the team - they played their hearts out!Lienehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479489443374383602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986048791171437584.post-26417152022788732322014-02-19T15:05:41.330-05:002014-02-19T15:05:41.330-05:00A Latvian win over Canada might have also caused a...A Latvian win over Canada might have also caused an earthquake...whoa, was that a great game! :)Dziesmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563380904245865832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986048791171437584.post-71843009352809159032014-02-19T10:43:28.732-05:002014-02-19T10:43:28.732-05:00In 2011, a daytime one was centered near Richmond,...In 2011, a daytime one was centered near Richmond, VA and was a magnitude 5.8. It seemed to last a long time...apparently it was close to the surface. Here in DC both the Washington Monument and National Cathedral suffered considerable damage. <br /><br />In 2010, the quake was an early morning (5am) event. I was in a deep sleep, but woke up thinking "Why is there a truck going past the apartment and shaking everything?" It was only 3.6 magnitude, but centered very close to where I live!Dziesmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563380904245865832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986048791171437584.post-18743254078977545842014-02-18T17:24:53.387-05:002014-02-18T17:24:53.387-05:00Sorry to hear about your trip Betsy...

Most surprising was checking out the usgs.gov site, and seeing how many earthquakes occur daily! We had a smaller aftershock the following day - I didn't even feel it.

For ...Isn't an earthquake a strange phenomenon? For those of us who grew up in the Midwest, we assume that dangerous things come from the sky - sleet, a foot of snow, a tornado. But actually feeling the earth move is incredibly strange. Amazingly, I've experienced two earthquakes in the DC area, and both were very disorienting.Dziesmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563380904245865832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986048791171437584.post-63242797730876449392014-02-18T02:44:31.721-05:002014-02-18T02:44:31.721-05:00Nice to hear that you are safe from earthquake...Nice to hear that you are safe from earthquake...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986048791171437584.post-31215120794287248372014-02-17T14:57:10.130-05:002014-02-17T14:57:10.130-05:00Hi there, That earthquake had to have been scary ...Hi there, That earthquake had to have been scary to be a part of.. Several people in Tennessee also felt it.... Crazy!!!! Glad you (and everyone ) is okay... Yipes!<br /><br />That snowstorm last week was crazy. We were right on the edge and got about 5+ inches here --which was just a perfect little snow for us!!!! George and I had reservations to go to a little inn in Cashiers, NC at that time --and had to postpone it since they had 15 inches there --and we couldn't get there! <br /><br />Glad your kids enjoyed the snow though... <br />Hugs,<br />Betsy Betsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.com
