Because the crust under the East Coast is colder and firmer than the West Coast, shocks travel more efficiently through it, accounting for the widely-felt shaking. Fischer says the shallow depth of the Virginia quake, .6 miles, is only a first estimate and will likely be revised.
Damn! It was THAT widespread across the east coast?
I figured it was just here in Maryland/DC. I slept in and had just woken up when I felt it, and I shit you not...I was still laying in bed jacking off. About 10 minutes into it, the bed started shaking lightly. I thought I was imagining things until it shook harder, so I looked around the room and there was movement. Then I heard rattling around the house and few things started falling over, so I jumped out of bed and tried to hold my TV in place until it was over (why I instinctively went for the TV first, I don't know). It all lasted about 20 or 30 seconds. I looked around the house to see what else had fallen over, and thankfully, not much. Needless to say, I never finished jacking off. I was a bit spooked. This was the first earthquake I recall ever feeling since we moved here in '95. Before that, I lived in California, and felt them relatively often.
Anyway, I tried calling my mom at work to ask if she felt it but the call wouldn't go through for some reason. I can't even check my voicemail either. I wonder if the earthquake had something to do with it.
You asshole! You scared the shit outta me! I almost called my mom again to make sure she was OK until I clicked that. It was from last year too.![]()
