Train? Truck? Earthquake? No. Quarry Blast!

On Monday, October 19th, 2009 at approximately 11:30 a.m.,I was home when the latest blast occured. It was very loud and shook my house quite extensively. It was equivalent to a train or truck hitting your house. I have been in earthquakes before, in 1994 at Northridge, CA and in 2004 in Bar Harbor, ME, and believe me this latest blast was equivalent to an earthquake. Blasting is now occurring on a regular basis. The question is how many more blasts it will take before permanent structural damage occurs to my home. After each blast you go look at your foundation and interior walls of your home to see if there are any damages or cracks.
