The Quake of 2011

I'm tired of the August quake referred to as "The D.C. Quake" and the CNN coverage, making all the fuss about D.C. and NYC! The epicenter was six miles from us, has totalled over 40 houses in this rural county where poor people have no insurance, let alone earthquake insurance (which the insurance companies are now scurrying around, offering...but which won't go into effect until ALL aftershocks have ended...and they're still rumbling in the county!) Two schools have been severely damaged and may have to be demolished, one of which, the high school, where I devoted 24 years of my teaching. Students in the high school and middle school now have to go to school from 8 till 5, every other day, at least until the Christmas holiday break. It was THE LOUISA QUAKE, okay?!
