SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

Many here felt it, including those right down the street and downtown. Apparently my dog felt it because he had been barking and acting like an candy ass for a while after the facebook posts started, but I didn't feel a thing.

I most definitely felt it here, the building was moving and a couple of pictures were swinging on the walls. Kind of scared me for a moment, I had no idea what was happening.

Hubby and I both felt it, but we both thought we just got a blood pressure spike or a mild dizzy spell. We were both at work and just compared notes later. When I first heard what it was, I thought "Oh good, it was only an earthquake!"

Apparently I was the only one who didn't feel it here in Delaware...I was in the pool at the time!

Gawd! And here I was hoping that the earth under DC had rend open to swallow up the entire city. I was sorely disappointed that it wasn't to be.

A lot of folks in CT felt it. I was at the CT SWAT challenge and didn't feel anything. But they evacuated buildings in a lot of the surrounding cities.
