Around 7 this morning my house started to shake violently, and
continued shaking for about 15 seconds. Among other things, an OM-2
was sent to the floor from a high shelf. It hit a dresser, then the
floor. It earned a little ding on the prism, and the metal base of
the rubber lens hood is dented. But it seems to work fine, along
with the 35-70 lens.
The quake was centered about 12 miles west, across Lake Champlain in
the Adirondack Mts. of N.Y. State. Some fellow there had a chimney
land on his car.
Goodness. About 30 miles east of you we had a bunch of shaking and rumbling
but nothing hit the floor. I guess I should be proud of my earthquake-proof
storage shelves. Maybe I'll go out and take pictures of the aftermath...
(In my youth I would take my OM on a rollercoaster and take pictures to
see how well it handled under g loads.)
