hi all;
This is only marginally map related, but maps will be involved so this
is handy:
Did anyone else feel the earthquake yesterday? I was home yesterday
afternoon and first I thought it was just someone moving something real
heavy but it persisted a bit long and was shaking a part of the house
that has a little flex to it. I knew it was an earthquake but figured it
was closer than Virginia though (I live in Western New York near Buffalo).
a few news articles on it show quick map and basics:

Note to Californians: despite their considering our 5.9 to be just a
small rattle, the East has the type of quake that will far outpace the
West in terms of devastation.
Visit the USGS to see more on yesterday's activity:

What a coincidence too... if Tuesday's shaking isn't enough, it's the
200th anniversary of several of the most powerful earthquakes in
American history. They happened in the East...

Personally, I think that the start of a new semester will be more
seismic than yesterday :>
