HOPS! Earthquake?

<< < (6/6)

BonesMS:
Fortunately, Hurricane Irene didn't do as much damage as was feared, and I'm grateful for that.  It could have been MUCH uglier given the SIZE of the storm!  When I got on Facebook, I encountered one posting from someone grousing that the East Coast Earthquake and Hurricane Irene were, in his words, "weak-ass" and he thought that the geologists and meteorologists were over-exaggerating.  It sounded like he was WHINING about these events NOT being more destructive than they were!   :?

I told him he should be GRATEFUL that they were NOT more destructive!  What is WRONG with people?!?!?!?!?

Hops sweetie...

I hope your nerves have started to calm down and that you're sleeping and breathing and relaxing now. I apologize for "hooking" your thread over to my issues and having a side convo with Bones re: the hurricance. It was my anxiety running away with me - which of course is so much easier to see in hindsight. I guess it kinda escalated to maximum craziness beyond the confines of my awareness... 'coz I'm so used to that way of "ignoring" my feelings especially anxiety.

And I'm gonna move all this on to a new thread, I think. Something I've noticed through all this, how Bones takes charge, you knew just what to do and did it, how Deb jumped right into what was a potentially DANGEROUS situation that kept changing on her, and sort of a "common thread" between all these experiences... and some post-event processing.

I've heard there have been as many as 18 aftershocks since the quake. I know I've felt the same weird dizzy feeling that I had during the first incidence, again. Like my feet are moving when I'm not. I don't really have a theory about what's going on... but I'll toss out that the age of those mountains should keep things more stable than not. Earth's "time reference" is a lot longer than ours... so it's "resettling down time" may very well extend a couple of years as the current abruptly shifted material "settles in" and gets comfortable. With each following incidence of movement being less and less intense.

I hope you're resettling in faster than that Hops!

Hi PR,
Actually, I meant my suggestion. I think it'd be nice for a thread to be about anybody's storm or extreme nature experience.

I like it when threads expand and morph, but this one's yours, not mine! So you can manage it however you like.

I'm not thinking about the earthquake any more (too many ordinary-life weather events, though the earthquake was memorable, that's for sure). And I was extremely lucky not be be affected by the hurricane.

I hope you and Hubs are safe and well and your area recover quickly. You too, Deb...

xo
Hops
