| #1 ...We've felt about half of them (we're about thirty miles from the cluster) and the one Wednesday evening was strong enough that we stepped outside for a couple minutes, along with more than a few of our neighbors. Short version: SC is geologically active (Charleston was hit pretty hard in 1886) and it's unusual to go more than a month or two without at least one. Either that or it's the Deep Sevens. Mike |
