Was at the hospital when it hit taking care of some paperwork. I got outta dodge before they tried mandating people esp since I wasnt even working today. They all know I am nuts too since I got on a motorcycle and rode away LOL

I ran for my life, was in Baltimore, saw some bricks fall off buildings, some light posts fell down, and some of the stands that they are using for the USGP were toppled.

Some nails have popped through the walls in my house, some pictures fell off the walls, drawers shook open but no major damage to anything.

Also found this picture of the devastation:

Fear of aftershocks?

That's fine if you don't live around things that can fall on you.

I'd rather find a nice good structural point inside instead of running out to where shit can fall on your head.

What is this earthquake you speak of?


We have these. My mother and her husband lived through this. Three of these fuckers went through.

I'm not sure but I think they're in the tornado.
