Washington, D.C. assesses earthquake damage

WASHINGTON DC EARTHQUAKE FELT THROUGHOUT NYC, VA AND OTHER AREAS ON THE EAST COAST. Now who would thought "Earthquake in NYC?" Yes it happpened on August 23rd. I didn't know there was even an earthquake until some of the people in the building I work in kept asking if I felt the earthquake-my mouth literally dropped, I felt NOTHING! I'm pretty sure because I work on the first floor and they're upstairs past 5th floor. Below is a picture of how the earthquake did its damages. Also below is a video on the earthquake. Here are some of the damages from the DC 2011 earthquake.

"Preliminary reports are indicating that a 5.8 magnitude earthquake occurred in Virginia at 1:51 pm EDT., according to the USGS. Shaking has been reported as far north as New York. Reports of shaking have also been coming in from the New England area. According to the USGS, a magnitude 5.5 Eastern US earthquake can typically be felt as far as 300 miles away. The USGS reported that epicenter of the quake was located in Louisa, Va. just southeast of Charlottesville and northwest of Richmond. The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake was half a mile deep. Shaking was felt at the White House and all over the East Coast, as far south as Chapel Hill, N.C. Parts of the Pentagon, White House and Capitol were evacuated. There were no immediate reports of injuries."

My DC Trip-too bad no pics now

......so I've decided to catch up on my blog today and why not do it at a good time other than today-after all I'm off...nothing to actually do..why not? ..wait this blog (the last time I updated it it was supposed to be a "random" one right?) I recently went to DC, to get away from my usual NY life. I surely went alone like I did when I went to SF last spring. It was somewhat a solo trip that really enjoyed. ....like I always say and believe sometimes you don't need a group of friends/people to have a good time-I believe it all depends on the person that you are-which I am very responsible, mature, smart, independent so I was good. I actualy took a couple of pictures and I was trying to upload here but somehow it wouldn't work-sucks! I guess I'll have to try it another time. I had an amazing time. I visited the Smithsonian, the Monumet and The White House (which I couldn't get too close), next time I'll have to book a tour to visit the inside. I really had a great time. Believe it or not I love museums :-) I'd really like to get away again...which I'm planning on. It's always good to get away once in a while you know. yeah...... Link
