: EARTHQUAKE OF 2003

EARTHQUAKE OF 2003

I was sitting in my Economics class awaiting the professor to arrive and hand out the course final when my next seat neighbor pal Brad asked,"Is the ground moving, or is it just me?" I felt the slight rumble and figured it was the kid behind me erasing something really hard and shaking my desk. THEN IT HIT ME. THE PROFESSOR DIDN'T HAND OUT ANYTHING TO ERASE YET. SURELY WE MUST BE EXPERIENCING AN EARTHQUAKE. Bah, never. I took the 56 question final within an hour and hopped in the Pimpo to drive back to my apartment. James and his Smitty-sized head asked me if I had felt the earthquake. I was dumbfounded because surely he must be shitting me. Yes, Virginia there is not a Santa Claus, and that was definitely an earthquake. People are clogging up the 911 emergency phone lines with reports of shaking windows and stillborn babies. Here's a report from the local news website:

Central Virginia got a jolt this afternoon as an earthquake shook the area. Just before 4pm, rumbles were felt from Hampton Roads to Richmond to Washington, D.C. and Maryland. The National Earthquake Information Center in Colorado confirmed an earthquake of a magnitude 4.5 shortly before 4pm. The center is attempting to determint the extent of the disturbance. The epicenter was located in Northern Powhatan.

Virginia's Department of Emergency Management is collecting reports from jurisdictions around the state. It has NO reports of damages or injuries.

At the Virginia State capitol, workers officials and reporters scrambled from the building after about 10 seconds of rumbling so pronounced that the walls and windows could be seen shaking.

Outside the capitol people huddled in small clusters. The same scene could be found around downtown Virginia.

Pretty fucking crazy, eh? I have now lived through tornados, hurricanes, blizzards, severe thunderstorm watches AND warnings, sleet, hail, and now earthquakes. I AM INVINCIBLE!
