Heather Morris’ journey to Richland HT
Well, that was exciting. I am already in Michigan getting ready for Richland, but the epicenter of the earthquake this afternoon was about 30 miles from my home in Virginia. A 5.9 Richter scale earthquake is high for the Virginia area, but it is not expected to do serious damage to well constructed buildings. All of the reports I have heard so far from central Virginia report the ground and building shaking with loose objects and shelves in some barns falling over, but no major structural damage. The most significant issues that are being reported by national media outlets are flight delays and cell phone disruptions. Hopefully that is as serious as the reports will get. As we wait for more info on the earthquake, here are a few afternoon links…
