Paul, OT* (sorry for not mentioning OT before) No earthquake damage... couple of mobile homes (pre-fabricated country residences, they're called) knocked off their cinder block foundations. Interesting effect, though, the 'brilliant flash of light and boom' associated with some earthquakes. There are thick strata of quartz in that area of NC, also many gem stones minerals like rubys, emeralds, and gold deposits etc. One theory has the stress before an earthquake causing huge piezoelectric charge potential to build up and then being discharged during the actual fracture. Something for Nova or 'Sightings' to look at. East coast has several well defined fault lines running through it. One of them goes right through the Savanna GA nuclear storage facility. You don't hear about them too often though. The plate-tectonics at work in the West Coast are different than those at work in the central US and East coast.... pushing together and then sub-ducting rather than pulling apart.. or something like that.
