Earthquake 8-23-11

I wanted to post this event that happened today.  The East Coast, from Virginia up to Maine was hit by a 5.9 quake today.  Epicenter in Mineral Springs, Virginia.  Shock waves went out thru Washington DC up the coast thru Philadelphia, Southern Jersey, New York City.   Far west to Chicago...into Maine.  Another quake hit the Colorado area.  (This was played down as not having to do with the Virginia quake.)  Damage minimal.

A hurricane is churning up the Atlantic...heading up the East coast.

The forecasts for this weekend...unless the storm dies down are not good.

I did not feel the quake here upstairs in my room.  Salvatore felt it downstairs.  I went down to talk to him and I became slightly dizzy.  The feeling lasted in me for a few hrs.   Angela and Mom in Parsippany also felt the quake.  Have to write this down.  My Mom thought she had a Ghost rocking her chair.  I said so you're going to blame Dad for teasing you.  We laughed about that.  Before the quake hit...the dogs in the neighborhood would not stop barking.  Also I had just posted a prayer on facebook, which I post here:  "The Will of God will never take you where The Grace of God will not protect you.  God, Our Father walk through my house and take away all worries and any illnesses.  Please watch over and heal my family in your name. Amen"

This Quake could have been very damaging; but we were spared.    Mother Earth is rocking and rolling, and we are all in it together.   May God Almighty Protect us all!
