  1. I was working on the deck of a covered porch we were completing when the quake hit-- in Alexandria, VA about 90 miles from epicenter. My first thought was that I totally screwed up the porch addition and the roof was coming loose to fall on our heads. Having experienced minor quakes in both Northern and Southern CA, I quickly realized it was a quake and yelled for all to get off the deck. For a few seconds on the deck, it felt like we were surfing. After inspecting the structure I informed the owner that we did good-- it w/stood a quake. Now that we may be hit w/ a hurricane this weekend in DC area, we might get another test of our skills;) P.S. In Alexandria, VA, inc. my residence, the quake caused cupboard/shelf contents to tumble and some wall-hung pictures to come loose.
  2. What year CMU? I graduated 1983-- GSIA-- or should I now say Tepper something or other... Tom
