5.8 earthquake in Virginia

Nick911sc · 08-23-2011, 02:04 PM

Checking in to see if everyone living in the area is ok. I'm in New York and our building was shaking.

More news to come...

HKYStormFront · 08-23-2011, 02:10 PM

didn't feel it here at the warehouse (there's always a slight rumble throughout the place due to the equipment moving and what not) but people in my area reported (via facebook) that they felt it. here's a link:

na he didnt even wake up.. im keeping my GFs puppy ( thats why i was on the couch asleep) and she didnt wake up either

i remember this morning i was watching the news and they said colorado had a earthquake and i thought well maybe i was dreamed it after seeing that story or something.. the local news here is saying it could be felt for 20 secs i felt it more for like 10 max but it was enough to wake me up

not the first time i felt something here in winston... about 5-6 years ago there was a little tremor that hit around here....

Charlottesville apparently missed me.

m4a1mustang · 08-23-2011, 02:22 PM

So it was not very strong in magnitude but the scope was pretty large.

didymus · 08-23-2011, 02:23 PM

Felt something here in Boston, was that the same one? Wow

zmyride · 08-23-2011, 02:23 PM

i didnt know a 5.8 quake was such a big news over there.

Here in California, most people would just sleep through it.
