My daughter who lives in Richmond had just got on an elevator to leave when the quake hit.
She immediately forced open the door and got off.

That is a different feeling for anyone who has never "felt" one before.

Daughter took the emergency stairwell and left the building, and left the city before she got stuck there.

Her office overlooks the Virginia Statehouse there on the hill. She is on the 15th floor of her building and her office is one big window looking right at it! Quite a view.
It is inspiring when one considers Thomas Jefferson was the architect of it and he did it from France while he was ambassador. He sent over the drawings and a scale model. The model is kept in glass and is on display for the public to see.

Quite a place. A lot of history there.
