It was a glorious day outside with the sun shining in the blue skies as a cool breeze blew in the wind. A great day to be outdoors admiring the sights and sounds of Nature!
But if you were outdoors, One could feel the Earth shake, houses rattle and a rumble under their feet. The East Coast experienced a 5.8 magnitude Earthqueak today in which the epicenter was reported to be in Mineral, Va. close to Richmond.
And, Washington, DC experienced the major earthquake as reported in the Washington Post Online newspaper.
Fema: Federal Emergency Management Agency posted tips on what to expect after the Earthquake in the Online Edition of the Washington Post.
It was an exciting day on the East Coast..and i experienced an event that I don't ever want too have to experience again!! Although, It was exciting at first...I was laying in bed when the Earthquake stuck and didn't know what was happening! It was like a scene out of a Poltergeist Film where the bed was shaking, the house rattled just as the spirits emerged to haunt the house. I was thinking maybe the Dead have Risen and were coming to collect on the Living. I started praying a few Hail Mary's before jumping out of the bed to grab the cellphone to check the Facebook page...and that is when I found out it was an Earthquake that rocked the East Coast! I thought the End of the World was near, or the Apocalypse was coming true! Anyway, I am glad that today has come to an end without any fatal casualties from the natural disaster. Tomorrow will bring new and exciting events...as well as, new promises!
And, onto other news, I managed to take a photo of a Pink Grasshopper!! I have never seen one before and thought it quite odd...From Albino Buffalo to Two Headed Calves and now a Pink Grasshopper to add to Nature's Oddities!!
I read a comment on someone's Facebook wall, that read " Ok. lets see. Earthquake today, Hurricane Sunday...time to buy the bug spray for the locusts." Hmm, Maybe the End of the World is closer than what we think?
