"Oh the humanity!"

Brings back memories of WPRK and the turkeys outta the helicopter.

Bueller?
That was the funniest thing I ever saw. Wish they would play it as a Thanksgiving tradition.

One thing to remember, the building codes for earthquake re-enforcement are not as strict in the eastern zones as the West coast, so that 5.9 may have done a lot of damage to the older brick and mortar  buildings back there.
  I hope the best for everyone, and LONG LIVE MAXON, and LORING........ Bob
Well, they're screwed now with the new building codes to come.

All is well.. I was in my 4th floor office (top floor) and the building did some serious shaking,, I got up looked out my window to the ground below and got a fix on the sidewalk and it sure looked and felt as if te building swayed 4 to 5 inches.   I lived in CA for years on and off in the 60's and 70's... so I knew it was a quake,,, just never felt one here in NC in my 31 years living here.

Now we are waiting to see if the darn  Hurricane stays East of our coast or comes inland,,,

"Be Prepared" is all we can do..

Glad you are safe Charles Darlin' !  Also glad to hear the "Satin Lady" is safe and secure.  Hope you stay high and dry during the hurricane....well, if not dry, at least high!!!

Hope all of our East Coast Racing Families are safe.

Stay Safe,

BREAKING NEWS: The President has just confirmed that the DC earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure fault-line, apparently known as "Bush's Fault". The President also announced that the Secret Service and Maxine Waters continues an investigation of the quake's suspicious ties to the Tea Party. Conservatives however have proven that it was caused by the founding fathers rolling over in their graves.

Are you sure it wasn't caused bt 10 million rednecks throwing a handful of Skittles into their toilet bowls for an 8 second NASCAR race Kent?
