OMG!!! I just felt my first earthquake & I never ever, ever want to feel another one! The dogs started barking like crazy & then my chair started rocking side to side. I got up I thought OMG that's one strong wind, but when I looked the trees weren't moving. I looked around & noticed the chandeliers were swaying & so were the sun catchers the kids made. Ella is now outside & she will not come back in the house. I think it really scared her. I'm still shaking & it happened about 1:50pm EST. The quake started in Mineral, VA 5.9 & has been felt as far away as Detroit, MI. Everyone is fine. A lot of cell phones cutting out, but I think that's to be expected.
@mel so you be fine that is great!
ReplyDeletei was a bit curious about you when i read it!

oh btw @mel how far was the earhquake away from your place?
ReplyDelete@Corinna It's about 380mi/611.5km away from me.
ReplyDelete@Corinna We very rarely ever have earthquakes on the east coast. Our fault lines are very deep in the earth & when they happen it's usually not felt on the surface. We did have a 2.2 near Youngstown, Ohio yesterday & it was 5km deep. This one was only 1km deep. Sorry it took me forever to write this the kids came home from school & we were talking about whats going on.
ReplyDelete@mel no problem!
ReplyDeletei read that it was only one 1 km deep!
have you felt that one from yesterday too?
i think i had once experiance a real soft earthquake and you just reconize it bc of the chandeliers!
@Corinna No I didn't feel the one yesterday. I was sleeping when it happened. It was registered in Akron which is 30 minutes away from me. It didn't even make the news. I didn't know about until I got on the governments earthquake page.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm off to go pay a couple bills & check on my friends at work.
ReplyDelete@Mel
ReplyDeleteGlad you and your family are fine!
Must be a real shock for you to experience an earthquake like this!
Found this report in the newspaper:

Google translater will translate! LOL
Take care, Mel!
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your detailed report about your adventures, Corinna!
I feel sorry you met such an ignorant wind surf teacher!
But the rest of the holiday sounds real great, I am sure you had a great time!
Last night I watched the football match between Bayern-München and FC Zürich! Of course Bayern-München won, they are much stronger! But the match was quite ok!
BTW I am a great fan of Robben! He is my favorite!
@All
Wish you all a great day!
Take care!
@nicoletta i checked yesterday from time to time the soccer game!
ReplyDeleteyou have to be here at my home when the hsv hamburg is playing against fc bayern!
my dad is for hsv and my mom for fc bayern! but it is real fun to watch them both in front of the tv! having funny arguments!
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteWould like to see your parents watching a soccer game between these two!
Must be amazing!
BTW did you see that one? To see the funny part, you have to scroll down!

Have a nice afternoon, Corinna!
What all did ALS put on that giant hamburger?
ReplyDelete@Corinna Loved your travel news. Glad you had a great time and sounds like a bit of a flirt with the lifeguard! I'm sorry your windsurf instructor was an idiot. He didn't know what he was talking about so I'm glad you changed. We all believe you have great balance. Sounds like a wonderful trip and fun drive home.
@Mel I didn't feel anything from the earthquake here. Glad you're all safe.
@Nicoletta Your new shoes sound beautiful. I did buy a new pair for my job interview, black clogs. They did not bring me luck. At least I haven't heard anything yet. I did the thank you for interviewing me letter, and the call back to check in but it's been a week. The JO blog is funny! :)
@Dana How is my bike riding Sis? What's up?
@nicoletta you mean the pic in the middle! which is moving?! this is a real funny one!
ReplyDelete@giffy and all ohters thanks for the support!
@Giffy
ReplyDeleteBlack clogs are great!
You looked for sure like a very elegant fashion lady, Giffy!
You make it the right way, everytime you succeed to get a job interview you deserve a real great gift, Giffy!
Good luck, Giffy, and try to look at it in a sporty way!
Everybody knows how difficult it is to find a good job, if we are not between the most wanted 20-30!
Keep up your good mood, Giffy!
@mel will you get also some hits from the hurricane "irene" i know that you don´t live so near to the coast, but maybe you will feel some offshoots of her! i hope not! but pls be careful!
ReplyDelete@mel maybe you have time to make a new aksel vid! with lot of smiling pics!
ReplyDeleteand maybe this song bryan adams - everything i do!
that would be real awesome, but only when you have time for it! (i would do it by myself, but i have no plan how to do something like this)
@AM Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful birthday and many more. enjoy!
ReplyDelete@Corinna When you were in the mountains again did you go to that bar?

ReplyDeleteand this afternoon we had a family day on the "rosenheimer herbstfest" it is like the munich oktoberfest but smaller!
@Corinna I am pretty good thank you. I'm not in any trouble. Did you see any interesting people up in the mountain? I remember your Herbstfest from last year. Did you wear the same pretty dress? You posted pictures of the dress last year I think? How does your little niece like Herbstfest?
