What's the tally on the tornado damage?

Yeah, this was was a bit disconcerting.  The first one I slept thru, the second P woke me but I was still mostly asleep and went right back to it.  This one happened while I was wide awake and was pretty trippy.  Earlier this year there was one during the day while I was at work.  On the third floor it was fairly intense.

My basement hasn't leaked since, I think decades of mole trails near the foundation got filled in.

unnerving, isn't it I saw on the news that you guys have a lot more building damage then we had. I hope it all settles down soon for you. I'd be building a bunker. ours was a hard back and forth shake with a floor roll for a good 15 seconds. I swear I saw the walls moving.
I was freaked for 2 days and we didn't have aftershocks.

well we were sitting on the couch during the one last night.  definite swaying motion, very sudden at first then tapering off.  our couch is pretty solid so it wasn't the couch moving, it was the house.

how's it feel? back and forth shake or roll or what? anything fall off the walls?

I have no problem with this in theory; they just need to work out the details between civil and religious. To me it is a separation of church and state issue. I do not want any religion creeping into our laws. We still have much work to do to extract all of the Christianity out of our law books and Sharia law is the same as fundamental Christians in my book. Neither of them have any place in civil law. I don't understand why so called liberals do not see this in this light, they are so careful not to offend any minority, they are going to allow them to start pulling the same sort of shenanigans the Evangelical Christian right tries to pull.  John Lennon or Vladimir Lenin for that matter would not like Sharia law.
