Luckily, only half of this took place today.
When an earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter Scale struck just 90 miles away, Greff and Rick (the plumber/experienced backhoe driver) were moving earth – digging footings for the deck. Rick felt the vibrations – even stopping the backhoe thinking perhaps there was a problem with the engine. Greff, standing is the shaking ground, felt nothing. Go figure.
