Prayers are with one and all!<br /><br />Re: Earthquake....was helping an elderly man from my church in his kitchen (Person co, NC) when the quake struck. Crystal shook; hanging mugs swayed; containers danced across the counter; floor vibrated so much my friend had to grab hold of the counter for support. My childhood home is near Mineral, VA....my mother's cabinet doors flew open; knick knacks fell and broke; TV turned to the side; much vibration, but folks who were outside didn't notice it much.<br /><br />Other than that, beautiful day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-83364676119148880082011-08-23T16:31:45.593-04:002011-08-23T16:31:45.593-04:00keep safe. here near raleigh were hoping she makes...keep safe. here near raleigh were hoping she makes a little more of an eastern curve too!
