[PRCo] Re: Earthquakes

[Fred Schneider]

And here in Lancaster, Pennsylvania we had one about 20 years ago  
that did some foundation damage to my house.   I had to chip out some  
of the original mortar and redo it.   More interesting that that, I  
was attempting to remove an object that our dog should not have in  
his mouth when the quake began.   That, believe me, was a new  
experience:  to have your hand in the mouth of a Doberman when every  
hair on his back stands straight up and the entire house buzzes and  
quivers.   Almost made me want to move to California where I could  
have sunshine and warmth with my earthquakes.   And it was only 4.5.
