Westend N.A. my wife said the computer desk shook

sitting in the office at mr. rooter plumbing myself and 3 others felt the building swaying and asked each other what is that. then shortly after it came over the radio. what a weird feeling.
My family and I were on a ferry enroute to NYC from Jersey City, NJ when it jit. We were in the modst of things when everything was being evacuated in NYC. Cell communications turned into another 9/11 but the worst part was most of it we heard was common chats. A sad day for people when they tie lines up for things that could wait during an emergency or possible emergency. :-(
I live in N. Adams but I lived in San Francisco for years. I immediately grabbed my phone, purse & bike helmet & got into the bathtub. No matter how many earthquakes I've experienced, they still worry me. But one in MA, was a real shock!
Have you enjoyed the seasonal, colorful flowers around Williamstown? Did you know these efforts are the work of Williamstown Garden Club (WGC) members?
These include the containers at town intersections, the post office, Town Hall, Milne Library, Field Park, and the bike path.
Are you eager to see the green boxes with cascading flowers return to Walley bridge, also the work of the WGC? The club needs to increase its membership to assist with these efforts, which are enjoyed by so many — both residents and those just passing through town.
Membership is open to all and offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to the community, as well as enjoy educational programs and garden tours. Learn more at williamstowngardenclub.org.
