Strange week.

The 2nd snowstorm of the year in Atlanta and an earthquake north of Augusta (about 115 miles from my house). I bet BJ felt it too.

Heck ya my outside man cave..lol...I burn wood there and have a buck stove inside.

Hell ya I was sitting in recliner about 10:30 pm and the window panes started rattling the metal blinds clinking...it felt like a combination of being right beside a train track and a low flying jet this went on a good 10 minutes.

I looked at my wife and said WTF !!!!!!!!! I even went outside to see whatever..I had no clue what I was looking for.....at that time my smart phone pinged with an emergency alert "EARTHQUAKE"...about 15 or 20 minutes later we had an after shock.

The 8 yr old got all upset and crying....

We are on a fault line and the quakes will happen so often. They always catch you off gaurd..this one was bigger.

Now check this out. Ice snow Wed and Thursday..60 degrees Friday with a Earthquake and all snow gone...WTF !

Sc has had over 40 Earthquakes between 2006 and 2012. I do not know the #s for 2013 and 2014.

Yeah Harbone they are a little different. Now as far as snow we are just over 120" so far this winter. A little above normal.

I was in a earthquake sevral years ago here in Tennessee. The quake was very mild can't rember the reading but it was a very strange feeling. No damage to anything I can rember in the area. What about you guys any damage? I have not seen the news in a couple days hope everything is ok.

Thanks for the update DD.



Happy ice storm, happy valentines day and happy earthquake day all in the same week. Lol.
My house is almost right where the quake started, but I was at my parents house when it hit.
My parents finally got power back on at 8:15 tonight. My mom has been pretty tough through all this, but it was about to get to her this afternoon. They have been using my old generator but it's been on its last leg since the last race I used it and it died this morning. Needless to say there are no generators anywhere around here. After they fixed the down power line she said she's never been so excited to hear a toilet flush in her life. Lol

This is a small example of the mess they have. They have close to 1000 trees that lost their tops or lost limbs. I planted almost all of them by hand about 12 years ago. It'll take us all summer to clean it all up.

What a mess looks like you guys are going busy giving those chainsaws a workout. Glad their power is back.

Harbone

Glad to hear Outlaw is doing OK

Everybody else get dug out and have power now?
