Here in my little corner of the world, I was able to feel a little tremor at my desk. It was about 130ish in the afternoon and I was busy finishing some paperwork for one of my customers thought it very odd for my desk to feel like it was moving. I kinda wondered to myself if it could be a small earthquake as the region I live in is on a fault line. Sure enough, it was an earthquake, I think its amazing how I could feel it here in South Carolina and the epicenter of the quake was in the D.C. region. Very happy that so far their are no reports of anyone getting hurt.
Tonight, I went to Downtown Charleston after work to go to the library and across the street the police had a whole block taped off. The local media was out with their television crew and the local paper taking pictures. Sure piqued my interest, but couldn't find anything out until the 11 o'clock news. At a building site, a Civil War era Cannon Ball was found. The local bomb squad was called out and the Cannon ball will be turned over to the US Air Force to detonate at some unspecified location. Its definitely been an interesting day here in the Lowcountry.
wonder if the tremor shook the cannonball loose from wherever it was hiding all these years? :)
ReplyDeleteThat is really strange...What did it fall out of someone's pocket? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe cannon ball was unearthed at a building site. A local school is expanding, and they found a piece of history while they were at it. A little bit more bang for there buck...LOL!
