Got a call from my sister. They had a gas leak. Turns out....the Earthquake loosened a fitting outside and the gas company believes the wind wiggled it loose enough to leak. Weird and scary.
Yeah, gas leaks are scary.
Many instances of earthquake damage came to light before and with the hurricane. For instance, some friends' septic system was damaged in a way that became evident in a Thursday night storm. Thankfully, it was fixed before Irene hit on Saturday.
Other friends in Loudon County Maryland (80 miles west of DC) discovered that some critical piece in their well had sheared off from the well pipe.
And I've read accounts of people discovering the earthquake rendered their basements no longer waterproof.
