Report from a bud in Sparta
Earthquake here did a number on the area pretty good. We had 5.1 on the Richter scale cuz some damage in town to homes structures foundations some businesses and homes. We have some minor damage here one and a half foot crack in the foundation in our house. I'm sure my telescope is no longer polar aligned, the observatory shook like crazy and our house look like crazy as well for over 15 seconds.
Just came back from Amy's business at Greenfield acres realty where Marilyn works. The destruction there was pretty good, toilets broken mirrors broken lot of stuff broken from the walls and shelves. The walls have cracks in them in the ceiling and along the ceiling vertically as well as horizontally. The foundation has cracks and the front and rear decks pulled away from the house. She also has an apartment building next door where the chimney broke in half and slid halfway off and their foundation is completely moved off its foundation a little bit. Amy's office building is two stories and it's really got a lot of damage. A structural engineer will have to assess it before the repairs can be made it's that bad
