I was minding my own business around 2pm this afternoon when the ground began to shake! It was pretty obvious it was an earthquake. Very strange for earthquake activity in North Carolina to happen – even if just a tremor from what did occur in Virginia. No one (except the geese), seemed to pay much notice…they decided to wing it to the lake – the same thing they do when a noisy plane or helicopter goes over a bit lower than it probably should. Glad to read that there is little damage or injuries from this afternoon’s wake-up call.

Now to wait out the week and see what Irene has in store – if anything. The media will be into “strengthening” and “weakening” news right up until Irene either does something or, turns and heads out to sea. We are desperate for rain in the Piedmont area of North Carolina – but several days of no electricity would not be welcomed.

And so it goes…
