Don't Mess With Mother Nature!

Twenty-nine minutes after I posted my flippant "What Earthquake?"  blog this morning, my home state of Virginia decided to give me a wake-up call.  There was a 5.8 magnitude quake in Virginia, centered near Mineral, to the northwest of Richmond.  That quake was felt from Boston to Savannah.  A water main inside the Pentagon broke and flooded two partial floors; windows cracked in Philadelphia; and the National Cathedral in Washington, DC lost three cornices from it's 30-story tall tower.  Aaaiiiiieeeee!  I prostrate myself before your glory, might, and power, Earth Mother!  Please protect my friends and cared for places from Irene!
