It's true.. word can spread much more rapidly now.
It's almost scary in a way.

I know I certainly appreciate the internet and the speed to get and receive information. I still enjoy the occasional card in the regular mail.
Glad you are ok!

and on the other hand, during some disasters, specially man-made ones,
communication links are cut, thereby making it difficult to access one's folks in the disaster zone.

My Baltimore Sis was told to get out of the building at her work, when the quaking started, and told you might as well go on home. She went out and got in her car and got on her cell phone to send email messages of the earthquake before even starting her engine.

Yes, and most times the news on the social media is more reliable.

barrelling along the coast..although who knows, it could turnout to sea on a whim...yep, the internet will keep us informed..

I have noticed that too, I was wondering if it affected you at all. We in CA sent it to you, we thought the E needed to be shook up

Yes, that happened here too when the earthquake hit us last year. No more secrets for this world. Like Sam said - stay safe in the turbulent weather!

I so agree; it takes very little time to get the word out and to check on it! Now your area is facing a powerful hurricane! Some 65 million people could be affected! It is going to be a long weekend so stay safe! sam
