mtbdude Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 We had a little window rattler this morning, and Yan Zi slept right through it. So, I just now woke her and asked her if she felt it. She said, "Earthquake? They did not forecast." I said (laughing incredulously), "Forecast it??? If they could forecast it, people wouldn't die in the damn things!" Yan Zi: "Well they should forecast. At least in America." Link to comment

eeyore Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Earthquakes, so scary and so unpredictable. This week in the Midwest (Ohio) we had a huge winter ice storm. Near were I live a tree branch fell due to the weight of ice on a power line and it caused a transformer to blow up. It looked light green lightning, then the power dimmed. It was quite surreal feeling. Link to comment
egolessvegan Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Just about anywhere in the United States you are susceptible to some form of catastrophic weather or natural disaster. In September of 2004 we experienced 2 powerful hurricanes here in the Jupiter, Florida area. I once read that the safest area in the country to live is in the Middle Atlantic states.

Phil & Ningning Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 "Earthquake? They did not forecast." HehehehJiening has the same attitude about earthquakes. The government should tell us when. I was on the phone with her this morning when it happened. It was a very sudden onset, but still a mild event. It startled me more than usual. She got very worried about me. Makes me wonder what she will do when she feels her first one. Link to comment

When they said the mid-Atlantic was the safest place then did not take into account that Jason lives there. Link to comment
egolessvegan Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I believe the Mid Atlantic states are Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, D.C. and Maryland. I am not sure Virginia is part of the group. Please clarify.Ken Link to comment

eeyore Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Depends on what map you look at or who you talk to. Generally its De, Md, Nj, Ny, Pa, DC, Va. some maps say Wv too. Some maps do not consider Va or Wv as mid-Atlantic.The mid-west is considered by some as Oh, In, Il, Mi, Ia and Mo, but I've seen maps that include Wi, and Mi. Once I was researching info about the mid west states and I even found a map that included the central and northern plain states and Texas too as part of the mid-west, Texas a part of the mid west? go figure.

oregonknl Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Yeah, have to take issue with that young Southern lad -- JP, Any state that went rebel against the Union can hardly be called "Mid-Atlantic" ...which I, reserve for those that officially, at least, supported the Union... I mean, come on! "The Old Dominion??? --- Richmond ~ Capital of the rebel cause?!?! ... come on........ Link to comment

The "war of northern aggression", I mean......VA is probably the most mid-atlantic state in the union. Look at a map!Oh, and don't forget "mother of presidents", and the popular slogan of the 1970's........ Link to comment
eeyore Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 In 1870 Va was re-attmitted to the union. The horse has been dead a long time Link to comment
