August 23, 2011: A 5.8 earthquake, centered about 80 miles away in Mineral, VA, gave the house a good shake, but we had little, if any, damage. Pictures were askew on the walls, a few items fell off shelves, and we see a few new cracks in the plaster, but nothing to photograph or complain about. We lost internet connection for an hour or so because a wire shook loose at the neighborhood relay station. The biggest thing was the shock of a good shake where we don't have earthquakes and the relief that the Capitol had not been bombed.
