Our neighbors, Doug and Twyla, said, when I got to their place for dog-walking this morning, that the quake had awakened them. Cody, our caretaker, also said his house was rocking.
Anyway, damage, apparently light, occurred in Placencia, and the community water tower in Mango Creek, collapsed. Major bummer for them, i'm sure.
And then, just a little bit ago, this:
This one, first of the season is up somewhere around Cape Hatteras. So, I start checking my Yahoo Hurricane Monitor every morning, first thing. It's a great widget.

Brother Dave - Glad the Earthquake didn't waken you or Diana! We think of you two every time there's mention of C America in the news. Hope all's well and wishing you a quiet hurricaine season!
Fraternally,
Jon & Marty
Bro. Jon - I copied the email I tried sending to you which errored out twice... Is there a problem with your email provider/account/ISP? - d
Bro. Jon,
Thank you so much for the nice wishes. I think of you guys often as well, like last fall about the time of the wine bottling. We really do miss those affairs.
Take care. Keep Bro. Bulloch in line too.
Fraternally,
Dave and Dianna
Yo D & D: Heard there was a rumble in your area and was very glad everything is OK w/ you. Preparedness is the key word for Huricane season, even if it's early. Keep us informed.
