Hi All, I pray All user board members and families, from the Northern East coast are OK. There was a 5.9 magnitude earthquake that hit the east coast earlier this afternoon. Here is the latest news.

The shaking was pretty exciting in my office, building moving, windows and HVAC ducts rattling. Everyone emerged from offices into the hall to figure out what was happening. Everyone fine.
This should be a fun topic of discussion now that the Bat News Network has quieted.

We had a lot of shaking in downtown Baltimore. Probably routine for you left coasters, but we literally had patients running from the waiting room out into the hall. Of course some will use any excuse to avoid a colonoscopy.
On the plus side, I think eRx is working faster post-quake.

We didn't even know it happened until someone told us. Really. We're right in Manhattan

Some of these images are starting to show up on the internet, so I thought I would post a few here. Examples of the devastation from the earthquake today: ![[Linked Image from farm1.static.flickr.com]](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/44/127632207_6c6d24755d.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i274.photobucket.com]](http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj250/Liamsmom_2008/Christmas2007016.jpg) ![[Linked Image from 0.tqn.com]](http://0.tqn.com/w/experts/Antique-Clocks-3526/2010/08/Crooked-Clock.jpg)

HAHAHA! You all kill me! Seriously, though, I hope you are all prepared for Irene. As Bert would say, "Backup, backup, backup!"
