re: #25 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

We felt it here in VA Beach. The house shook for about 5-10 seconds and that was it. Scared me for a moment that perhaps we’d been hit by a strong gust of wind, but it’s a perfectly beautiful day outside.

And now, for some reason, my cellphone’s not wantin’ to work. I’m getting bars, but every time I try to make a call, I get a “Call Failed” message. Think some cell towers might have gone outta commission for a bit.

Or they’re just overloaded.

(BTW, there was a 5.3 earthquake felt in Colorado yesterday.)
