We had a magnitude 5.9 earthquake today, epicenter Mineral, VA (about 37 miles from Charlottesville, VA). It shook us around 1:55 pm in Lovingston, VA where I'm working. We had a patient standing and decided that she officially had excellent static standing balance if she could maintain standing during an earthquake, our documentation looked something like this: "Patient has excellent static and dynamic standing balance as she was able to maintain stance without loss of balance during an earthquake of magnitude 5.9". :) No, but really, one more thing I can knock off my bucket list! Tornadoes, here I come.
On a more serious note, this type of natural occurrence is not abnormal for me, except usually I leave the state after 3 months leaving it in my aftermath. I left Arizona to find out they had a spell of wildfires, tornadoes and damaging hail the size of baseballs. I left Texas to have a pretty significant drought. And I left Washington to have torrential downpours - no wait, that happens everyday anyway! Maybe the cycle will stop if I don't keep leaving each state at 90 mph.
