We're not used to them around here... I felt it sitting in my house/office in Wilmington NC for about 5 seconds. I have never felt an earthquake before and was trying to figure out what was going on. | | | Re: Watch out for Irene

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | I was laying over in Tokyo 3 weeks after that big one they had up north of there back in March. About every 3-5 hours there was a pretty good aftershock and jolt. They build for it over there so our hotel just kind of rocked gently, back and forth...at first I thought I'd had too much Soporo, but then I realized what was going on.
Hurricanes and Earthquakes, it's all good fun until someone gets hurt...OR...maybe it's the end of Days!
I thought that wasn't supposed to happen until...2012 ??

Then...New York stands in the path of what's predicted to still have enough strength to be classified as a Category 1 hurricane by that time...not good!
Fingers crossed for a big rightie and this thing blowing out to sea!
