VIDEO: Exclusive Interview With Young Victim of the East Coast Earthquake UPDATE: Meet the Heroic Survivors

Posted on | August 23, 2011 | 63 Comments

HAGERSTOWN, Maryland
Reporting live from this previously peaceful community, mere miles from the epicenter of the devastating 5.9 earthquake:

Regular readers may notice that this emotionally traumatized victim bears a remarkable resemblance to my 8-year-old daughter, Reagan. And regular readers may also notice that the Earthquake Victims Relief Fund bears a remarkable resemblance to my tip jar.

It’s for the children!

UPDATE: Thanks to Dan Collins for helping spread the word about the catastrophic toll of this incomparable disaster. And thanks to Russ Emerson for his generous contribution to the Earthquake Victims Relief Fund. The victims are now demanding I take them to get Slushees . . .

UPDATE II: Earthquake Hits East Coast; Obama Blames Tea Party.

UPDATE III: The Lonely Conservative feels the pain of the young victims.

UPDATE IV: At the Earthquake Relief Center — which bears a remarkable resemblance to our local convenience store — the heroic young survivors recover from the emotional trauma wrought by this historic tragedy:

We appreciate the support of Fausta Wertz.

UPDATE V: Linked by Nice Deb — thanks! — and welcome, Instapundit readers!

    Dang – I can hardly believe the devestation! And the poor children like Reagan up there having to BEG. Never thought our country would be reduced to this. Bush’s fault line just keeps growing.
    Oh, it’s my grandchild’s birthday today, think I’ll donate to HER jar – after all, it’s the children we must consider.

    That would explain why the quake was felt all up and down the East Coast.

    I like the comment Warthog made over at Gateway Pundit: Epicenter was situated at the convergence of Bush’s Fault, Congress’s Fault, Teaparty Fault, and Itsnotmy Fault

    The East Coast is set for a hurricano.  Stacy can go out and lament in it.
