I didn't even felt it...

Yup, they are reporting 5.8 or something from Mineral, VA. Felt it here in College Park, office building was shaking lol. Had some friends in NJ and NYC texting me they felt it too.

Damn that's crazy, glad classes haven't started yet.

Felt it on Long Island. I was parked while in my Z and though it was the engine having a rough idle. Then I noticed the building in front of me was shaking.

b1adesofcha0s · 08-23-2011, 02:37 PM

I first thought it was just some crazy equipment running in my plant, since the building I'm in isn't really used anymore. Once it stopped someone told me it was an earthquake.

Yeah the epicenter was about 10 mins from where my sister, niece and brother in law live. Pretty wild.

Crazy! Are they all ok?

Masa · 08-23-2011, 03:35 PM

They closed my building to check on the reactor so they sent us all home lol.

That must have been nice

We had to evacuate here and then we just went back in like 20 mins later.

They SHOULD have some safe guards in place in case something like this happens. If not, let's hope they learned their lesson.
