I have never experienced an earthquake but I witnessed the aftermath of a serious seismic event in Agadir in Morocco in 1963. The town was pretty much destroyed. We visited Chile a few years ago and knew we were in an earthquake prone country when the first instruction on the card on the inside of the door was what to do in the event of an earthquake! Have a great weekend and stay cool. I hear it is pretty hot in your corner of the world.David M.

I remember hearing about a crack in the Washington Monument. My Mom had her storm door fly open and closed and felt the ground move, in Wakefield Va at the time. Some amazing photos of the Cathedral, and the damaged areas.
