We felt that quake where I worked in Hanover Co, near Ashland.

We were all upstairs in an old building. The whole building felt like it was moving, and was creaking. When it dawned on us what was happening, we all rushed down stairs and out of the building. Of course by then, the shaking and creaking had stopped. Glad we didn't feel one while in California in 2014. Spent about 2 weeks in southern Cali, between Death Valley and downtown LA.

I don't see anything that looks like that press box either.

Part of that cost is due to having to “earthquake proof “ the facility
RJHokie • 01/07/25 07:02 PM ET
They should probably also fireproof it

No. The resort tried to cut the lake's NIL money so the water went where
