earthquake!

a 5.8 in virginny and d.c. --- but we didn't feel it in atlanner --- at least i didn't --- some people say they did, but . . . .

charleston, august 1886, maybe as big as a 7.3, knocked down chimneys in atlanner --- that was a real earthquake ---

or the new madrid quakes in 1811-1813, which might have been an 8.0 or higher --- either way, i'm not sure that my reinforced cement building is necessarily the place to be should we experience terrestrial instability
