The Great Quake of 2011

Lattimore, NC–Just a couple of hours ago, the entire eastern seaboard went into a state of shock and panic. This due to an Earthquake. National monuments closed, buildings evacuated, and books and fine china flew from shelves.

The 5.9 magnitude shaker hit Virginia and traveled through the tiny hills and dales of Dixie all the way to New York, New York. In the tiny town of Lattimore, I felt a tremor and realized as I shook that it was a quake. Thanks to energy in the Earth’s crust I experienced my first detectable quake.
