Chaos from New York City to Atlanta. In Washington D.C. phone lines are down and it marks the first time in my pre-pubescent life that I have wanted anything from D.C. to go down on me.

You folks get all of the excitement. Here in Denver, what excitement we see is related to snow, beer, or horticulture.
Joe, what do you mean, if you go to the USGS site you will see latest significant earthquakes:
Magnitude 5.8 VIRGINIA August 23, 2011
Magnitude 5.3 COLORADO August 23, 2011
The details on the Colorado one:
15 km (9 miles) WSW of Trinidad, Colorado
33 km (20 miles) NW of Raton, New Mexico
54 km (33 miles) S of Walsenburg, Colorado
290 km (180 miles) S of DENVER, Colorado
Guess you just don’t feel the shaking with all the mountains, or maybe it’s the beer. 🙂
I am well aware of the quake in southern Colorado, Ted. The problem is… no one cares about southern Colorado. No one lives there. It’s only relevant if you need gas during the drive from Denver to Santa Fe, even then… you probably should have flown in the first place.

very good! I have to admit it was a little weird.
