Title: An earthquake in our Coach
Post by: Scott & Heather on August 23, 2011, 11:54:07 AM
Definitely bus-related since we were in our coach when it hit. 5.9 Mag...hit us in PA with minor force, but still shook the coach enough to make us think our air bags had failed or a jack had slipped. Our first three weeks living in a coach...and we experience our first earthquake in it.  :o

Hi Folks:

It was fun.

Knew immediately what it was as the floor and walls moved and all 6 overhead metal doors sang a song.

We all gingerly moved outside not knowing what to expect next.

Fortunately, nothing so we came back in to work.

Happy & SAFE!!! Bussin' to All.

If it was in DC it is probably China digging their way through to get their money.

Yeah, when the "big one" happens since we are just west of the San Andreas fault, we'll have ocean front property on our island off the coast of California.  So, I have some property for sale that will really increase in value when "it" happens!

Without politicians who would you complain about?
And who would we blame our troubles on?
