I had a 60 gallon salt water tank topple over during the '94 earthquake. It was several hours until there was light enough to find the fish, scattered around the room. Miraculously, my green Wrass survived. I put him in a bucket of saltwater but he died the next day.

I took three days off work this week and will be off till Monday. Wanted to do some grilling. But I haven't been able to talk myself into it because of this.

Current temperature
The thermometer on my grill. It's not lit.
If I threw maybe 5 or 7 Peace's of lit charcoal in there I think it would be up to smoking temps.

I'm in Winston Salem, about 60 miles from Sparta. Definitely felt it. Not much but the house shook around 15 seconds at the most. No damage here, nothing falling from the shelves. We felt the one in 2011 that was located near DC. I felt that one more, but I was also on the 9th floor of an office building.Did anyone within 100 ~ 200 miles of Sparta, NC feel the 5.1 earthquake this morning?

I was sleeping at the time, but my wife said the Mr. Peanut jar on top of the fridge was shaking pretty good.

Funny thing. The house started to shake. My wife thought it was the cat carrying on upstairs. "What is that cat up to now?" To which I replied "That's not the cat."

Next time that you're petting your dog, scratch them right between their eyes.
At first, they'll go, "What the....".
But after a bit, they'll love it!
My bind and deaf doxie LOVES it when I do it to him!
And my mom's dog, who doesn't like ANYONE, really likes it when I do it to him!

I just noticed a 110 outlet on the enclosed front porch has been pulled inside the wall. The thing looked as if someone struck it with a hammer, because the outlet cover had snapped into. I am beginning to wonder if a beam of some sort may have shifted out of place (during the quake), pulling the 110 wiring with it.
I'll have to check into this.

We are under a winter storm watch Monday night into Tuesday with predictions up to 14".
I am at around 10,000 feet so we will see:
Weather report for 7 News Denver.

Burning up on the west coast, and snowing in the higher elevations.
Summer has been relatively mild here by southern standards, and we are enjoying a nice cool front at the moment.

Big kitty!
That's crazy! Those people don't seem to be afraid at all! Can anyone here translate what is spoken?
On a similar note, for anyone that's watched the tiger King, the TV show 48 hours is doing a story about the missing husband of Carole Baskin. That's tonight (09-09) on CBS.
