DC Earthquake!

Anyone have any damage? The apartments across from my office in Tyson's Corner lost the brick on the upper parts of the outside walls. I was stopped in a drive through when it hit, I thought I had rolled into a curb at first.

I don't think I'll have lost anything at home. Books and pictures on the floor in the office.

Most people went home for the day, I'm hanging out at the office till traffic dies down.

You guys had an earthquake? was it scarry? Awh you people are such Wooses, we have them for breakfast every morning.

Wait till you have an 8.7 and have it shake for 15 - 20 sec. now you have Rock N Roll

God is still in control, he just has to shake things up now and then to get our attention.
