Namaste!
We just had a 5.8 (preliminary magnitude estimate) here in DC/VA area.
Epicenter was somewhere near Mineral, VA.
Everyone's got the phone lines (both land and cell) kinda tied up.
Whole floor of the house was moving around. Really wild, and quite cool, actually.
No, I wasn't, and am not scared at all. Excited. Mama Earth is shakin' and bakin'!
My mom and her dogs freaked out though, and the tremor did break some things.
I wonder if there will be aftershocks.
I can't get in touch with anyone else in my family at the moment.

Did you hear about the crack in the Washington Monument aka the Obelisk of Power. Could it be a metaphor for a crack in the powers that be who control the world? Coincidence? I think not, I don't believe in coincidence, everything happens for a reason =)

The Earth is "shifting" :)
I remember first time I experienced the quake, it was L.A. in late '80's and how freaked out I was...................
nowadays I live above Nappa Valley and close to Haliburton Co. exploiding the Geysers in our 'hood which create a tremble every week and am at ease with what they create. Now it's like regular shake happening; even if it happens in the middle of night where entire house feels like a freight train is just about to slam throu my walls........
I am in Love and at Peace, so these things no longer have such impact on me..........................
