Wow! My family is all in Western Virginia (not WEST Virginia), I hope they are safe. They live out in the middle of nowhere though, so no buildings around to fall on them

Yea but they might fall in a big crack.. Lots of room for it to open up..

I'm just glad that you didn't mis-spell or mis-use the phrase "big crack"

Take it from a life long Southern Californian - 4.5 for us is about the equivalent of a gentle breeze.

Then again, considering that out here what's not fastened to the foundation is glued in place helps with the damage factor

From winter storms to earthquakes - I feel for you east coasters.

It's kinda weird hearing folks who have never felt an earthquake before, we just kinda take them for granted around here.

Yes, 4.0-4.5 is good for shaking my martini's.

Glad no one was hurt.
