5.8 earthquake in Virginia
 

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...

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:

A lot of cell phone problems here on the east coast as of now.

Upgraded to 6.0. Felt it quite a bit here in the DC area.

i felt it here in winston-salem NC.... i was asleep on the couch and i woke up and thought i was dreaming.... i put my hand on the sliding glass door in the living room and it was moving...so i turned on the news and yup im not crazy

Yeah the system is uber loaded right now.

felt it too in ny

:bowrofl: was beau flipping out?

pretty heavy here in NoVA... no big damage it looks like.

Felt it here in Philadelphia...you guys are fast on the draw for posting lol

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.

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

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

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

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

1) Quakes are rare here

2) Though the magnitude was low, the scope was very large

3) We could have a bigger quake if we wanted to, so stfu! :p:icon17:

5.8 is pretty severe.

I'm not gonna lie I was in the bathroom when it hit. LOL

I'm like 600 miles from the center, wow. Building was swaying a bit

I pooped when the earthquake hit... good thing i was on the toilet. :icon18:

Felt that sh1t here in Baltimore.

i was in a 5.3 in san diego. that one was much more like a wave - up and down . this one was more like rattling vibration followed by small waves for another minute.

First thing I did after the shaking stopped was to run outside and check on my Z... make sure no bricks fell on it. :rofl2:

I heard it was felt all the way upto Toronto :eek:

:tup: i'd do the same.

Doesn't look like it caused too much damage. Also, there was a quake in Colorado earlier. How many more months till 2012?

I need to finish buying supplies!

Felt it here in SE Conn. At first I thought it was someone shaking their leg in the next cube over. :p

They must have some strong azz legs :icon17:

Felt it here in Ontario Canada, office building here at work was shaking

We felt it here in Montreal

I didn't personally but others did

Welcome to California's world.

Hahaha yea. Too bad the east coast's buildings are old and brittle and not built to handle these lol.

True. I hope everyone is alright.

Felt it here at the airport. We all thought we were losing our minds until we noticed the water cooler flipping out.

My office floor was waving in DC and a huge TV came off its brackets. That's when I got the f&$@ out. Be safe leaving DC, it's crazy out here right now.

Watch out for the aftershocks.

yikes... :eekdance:

Ken, a friend of mine at a location I won't disclose told me the wall cracked at his office and the bomb squad was right behind him on his way out...

:eekdance::eekdance::eekdance:

Glad I'm not where Ken was :p
