Since passing safely through the Mayan apocalypse, the planet, while always a little shaky, has been relatively quiet. No quakes in the above 6.0 red zone among the broken up plates of Earth. The quake list has representatives from all the Pacific boundary spots, some mid-ocean ridge action and as always, transform slipping in the western US. The central Va. quake zone, mercifully, remains quiet and repairs continue (and conclude) as we try and return to a "normal" world.
Louisa Co. HS is gone, a concrete pad, and plans for a new one are moving forward. Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, long down, actually has construction underway in hopes to have students back in the new building in the fall of 2014. The USGS still digs and probes the area looking for signs of past activity and effects from the 8-23-11 quake. Loud booms and unusual shakes still leave us jumpy and nervous, our trust in the stability of the planet shaken so many ways that lovely August day.
But, it's just Earth doing it's thing, get out and enjoy your ride, today on the shaky planet!
