Any nerves shaken up during that unexpected earthquake on Tuesday? To be honest, I thought that I was dizzy when the ground started shaking. But then, I noticed that my tv (which is a flat screen on top of my FiOS box) was shaking (and making creaking noises), and my graduation tassels (from my high school graduation back in 2008) were swaying. Within two minutes after the shaking stopped, my dad screamed out “Maggie! Jack! There was a 5.8 earthquake in Virginia!” All of the afternoon shows on NBC, ABC, CBS, etc., got interrupted with earthquake coverage. The earthquake coverage was pretty much 2 pm- 6pm then at 11 pm that day. Boy, that was an exciting day!
Right now, Hurricane Irene is supposed to slam the area. Come on Mother Nature, first an earthquake, and now a Hurricane? You are being downright cruel to citizens that live in the East Coast/Northeast. I’m pretty sure that the West Coast never had an earthquake and a hurricane within 7 days apart from each other. I think that Momma Nature should go underground, get married to Hades, then die in a pool of spirits (note Hercules reference); while the Devil belongs next to God in Heaven right now.
Now, i’m waiting til my mom gets back from food shopping (I bet must of the shelves would be empty) and going to buy some items I need, plus some beer.
