Well it is old news by now, but yes we did have a bit of rumble on the east coast yesterday. The kids and I were playing outside at the time. Actually, they were playing, I was reading. They noticed nothing, as per usual with kids (unless you don't want them to notice, then they can't not notice).
I, however, was sitting in my lounge chair. This chair is they type with the metal frame and mesh 'seat' attached to the frame with bungee cord. All of a sudden I started bouncing. I thought it was the kids goofing off at the chair, but they were still fighting over what toys they were going to play with.
Then it happened a second time. Now my mind is racing thanks to too many horror novels that I read. Since it didn't happen again, I could go back to my reading.
A while later, we came inside and I check my email and the news headlines. Low and behold, the earthquake. Sitting in my chair, I had actually been the needle on a seismograph. I was sitting still while the everything around me was shaking. Damn.
This weekend, Irene is supposed to hit the Carolina's. Will it turn north? West? Who the hell knows?
I thought that the we had another 16 months or so before the end of the world.
Go ahead....

You have fun with all that now!!
It was all over the news here, with people leaving high rise office buildings, etc., blowing it all way out of proportion.
I was at home and didn't feel or hear a thing. Neither did any of my kids.
But damn on the hurricane business.
I'll just hang out with my tornadoes. Thankyouverymuch. I had enough of the jiggling in my 8 years on the left coast.
Good thing I'm safe here, straddling this fault line in California.
Stay safe.
We get the occasional tornado too, nothing like what you see Leslie.
