Survived 5.8 earthquake & hurricane Irene

So there I was sitting in my basement office at USNA with my feet on the floor. The carpeting over cement was moving. A TAD ensign and I looked at each other and had a WTF moment. Everyone had to evacuate. Fortunately it was a beautiful day so wasn't a hardship to stand outside until we got the all clear to return. That was Tuesday. By Friday we were unplugging our PCs and putting all the electronics on our desks in case of flooding. Saturday night Ditto and I slept in Dylan's queen bed in the basement in case a tree fell on the house. It didn't, but one did on my neighbor's three houses up the hill. My backyard neighbor had a poplar limb the size of a huge tree land between their garage and tool shed on the black top where he usually parked his truck. Fortunately he moved it that night so only damage to their patio wall and fountain behind the garage. Lost power Saturday night at 10:45 p.m. and it still isn't restored (Tuesday). Dylan stayed in Annapolis. He lost power but got it back Sunday night. Last night he took all the shrimp, etc. out of the freezer into a cooler. He plans to cook a lot of shrimp pasta alfredo. USNA only lost some large trees and several lamp posts. An interesting week to say the least.
