On Tuesday (August 23rd), I experienced my first earthquake. Surprisingly, I felt it right here in central New Jersey. The epicenter was in Virginia and the shock could be felt as far north as Canada. It was a lame little shake -- something I'm sure Californians would barely notice. But holy crap, did it get everybody excited.
This weekend, the Northeast is preparing for hurricane Irene. New Jersey is already in a state of emergency, with the governor urging evacuation of the Jersey shore. If it turns out to be as bad as they're speculating, we're in for a doozy.
I wouldn't mind some power outages and flooding. Back to basic survival mode. I'll just travel via canoe if I have to.
