Earthquake

[NJFZ1]

So did you guys here in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast feel that earthquake? Man it was only a 5.8 and shook my office building really good. I can't even imagine what an 8 or 9 would feel like!!!

yeah... it was 68 miles down the road from me... shook the house pretty good... enough to knock some stuff off of the stove and make the pictures smack against the walls a few times....

I don't think it woke up the cats though...

I was working on the Hawk. The bike began to shake back and forth and the floor felt funny. Then I look out at my house, it was swaying back and forth as well. Then it registered, IT'S A EARTHQUAKE!!

I was in NYC on the 11th floor. I thought I was getting sick when I then noticed my pc monitor was shaking. Then someone yelled "Earthquake." It was wild....and a bit scary.

Lots of the neighboring buildings evacuated for a short time.

That was a first for me!

Nothing here in Portsmouth, NH. At least no one in the office has mentioned feeling it. Western NH has reports of it so I'm guessing it followed the fault line there up to Canada.

I was standing in the yard when the ground started moving along with all the racks of lumber. I looked up and all the racks were creaking back and forth. I immediately thought earthquake. Not two seconds later they called me on the PA to tell me I had a call. It was Richie asking me if I felt it. He said the house shook pretty good. I told everyone at the yard in the office that it was a quake and they didn't believe me. Then it was all over the internet. That was my third one that I have felt here since birth. Pretty rare for our parts but there is a fault line running through the Catskills.

Nothing over here, you east coast guys have all the fun.

I was about 10 miles form Mineral when it happened, working in the woods. It felt like a train was traveling beneath me. The trees were really shaking.

We had a 5.3 earthquake on Monday night in in Southern Colorado. I did not feel it a bit and the epicenter was in Trinidad, about 140 miles away from where I live.

I felt it in Louisville, KY. At first I had no idea what was going on, it felt like my chair was rocking, but then I realized my chair was staying upright (because of the hinges), it was everything else that was shaking.

It wasn't a violent shake, just a rocking, but I didn't realize how disorienting it would be. It was at least 15 minutes before I finally stopped "feeling" the shake.

I heard about it on the radio since I am in Canada on vacation and the first thing I told my wife was, "Obama will stick $300-$400 billion dollars into his speech next month to 'retrofit and redesign office buildings around the country, especially Washington DC, to make them more earthquate resistant. It will be sold as a security issue for the country as well as a jobs creator." MARK MY WORDS. Pure pork barrel spending, especially for the DC area.
