Today was full of unexpected surprises. Papa is coming home to the mountain after being "deployed" to Nashville after a local oil crisis. We traveled down the mountain to find our sheetrock guy taping and filling in nail holes in preparation for mudding next week. But the most interesting and unusual surprise of the day was hearing word of the 5.8-magnitude earthquake!
As we stood in the cabin, discussing future construction with our wonderful sheetrock engineer, Mom ceased talking mid-sentence and stomped her foot on the plywood floor. She paused, stating that she felt the floor moving and is "paranoid" about earthquakes with this cabin having a pole barn frame.
We casually climbed back into the truck and began the ride down the mountain. We were rather surprised when we heard a radio report of an east-coast earthquake! Mom's eyes were wide as she realized that her perception of the cabin floor shaking could have indeed been that earthquake. Upon further examination, the timing of the quake aligns with our time at the barn... This is indeed a possibility!
