East Coast USA Earthquake

Felt it here in Hoboken.

One guy I know in DC, who's lived in LA, said it was as significant as anything he felt while living there (I don't know how long he lived there). He also pointed out that knowing that nothing in DC is built to earthquake codes added extra excitement!

And that Devastation picture was funny...until I found out that several spires fell off the National Cathedral. I don't know if anyone was hurt, but it's a nice building, and that's sad.

I am just waiting for some Christian nutjob preacher to say this was God's warning or some shit like that. Especially since it happened in the D.C. area.

I predict you won't have long to wait. In fact I'd be surprised if Fred Phelps hasn't already issued a press release.

Or Pat Robertson...or John Hagee...or Cindy Jacobs...the list goes on. I'm sure someone will throw gays under the bus because of this.
 
For the record, Colorado had an earthquake last night, too. And that is very rare here as it was fairly big. Not near me, though.

2012 is upon us! :O
 
I'm on the western side of Virginia.

I heard things on shelves rattling and wondered what it was.

The power went out briefly about half an hour later. No storms or wind in the area, so that was spooky. I think it was related to them shutting down a couple of nuclear power plants.

I'm more concerned about hurricane Irene now. I don't think we'll get a lot (western VA) from it but the northeast could be in for a real mess. Millions without power, potentially.

Stay safe East coasters. (*8*)
 
It must not have traveled as far west as it did north and south, because I didn't feel anything here. And now Irene is about to sweep north. You guys on the coast have all the fun.
 
I was at the Indians-Mariners game. The owners and announcers felt the quake. I didnt feel a thing. I was however drinking beer.

The only time I rose in panic was when the Indians' alleged closer gave up two runs in the top of the ninth. Fortunately Shin-Soo Choo hit a walkoff three run homer in the bottom of the ninth. I was out of my seat then too. But for joy.

That's how we like it!

I was outside during it, feeling the earth shaking is a nutso feeling when you've never felt it before. like being in a boat.

"Our thoughts are with you as you go through this period of rebuilding." :rotflmao:

Hilarious. Though really, I hope that no one was injured. As if I needed to feel any lazier on this lovely Summer day...I felt nothing, and if I had I probably would have shrugged my shoulders and turned up iTunes.

No wonder you laugh.
I only click because of your laugh LOL :badgrin:
 
The earthquake made me dizzy.

This was the first earthquake I have ever felt in my life. At first I thought my house was coming down, so I ran outside. Once I got outside I noticed that it was shaking outside, too. At that time it stopped and I went back inside.

Fun day.

It's actually more dangerous to be outside during an earthquake than being inside. From what I hear.

I usually sleep through most earthquakes here in the ghetto.
 
I felt it here on Long Island. I was talking to someone and she noticed the filing cabinet was shaking. She was panicking that it will topple over and explode or something, so I spent the whole time assuring her that nothing like that would happen. Then she started blaming the air conditioner for moving it. I then tried to help her calm down by saying it could be the vibrations from the trucks on the road (the office is on a main road). Then they started talking about the earthquake on the TV, and she began to panic even more for her son. She eventually calmed down... :|

Luckily it was just a minor rumble.

That is not even close to true. Well, sort of. It's safer to be in a doorway or other structurally stable part of the building than to be right outside one of the walls of a building, because the wall could fall on you. But the middle of a field is pretty much the safest place you can be during an Earthquake; there's nothing to fall on you, which is usually what causes casualties.

Of course... outside and under an overpass, or outside and near some power lines, those are not good places to be. :)

Or just outside a building with pieces falling off it, which is where you're likely to be if you run outside just as an earthquake is beginning.

The person I quoted he ran out of his house, how do you know trees might not be falling around him or stuff from his roof might of been falling apart like bricks, could knock him out. Yeah fields can be safe if there is nothing around but how many people do you know live in fields?

Say California for instance if a person runs out of a building chances are he could be killed by anything falling or breaking on the building like a part of the building or even glass, you're pretty much dead or severely hurt at this point. To me it's very close to being true. Never doubt earthquakes. Even being inside can be dangerous the only way to be safe is what you said being between a doorway or a strong enough table.
 
Guys, I'm not saying "run out into the middle of the street during an Earthquake so everything can fall on you!" I'm just saying that "outside" is not an inherently bad place to be during an earthquake. Some people seem to think the ground will open up and swallow you if you're outside during an earthquake... seriously, people have told me they worry about that. Where I live, there's lots of open fields with no trees. That's a good place to be, and the ground will NOT open and swallow you whole unless you're literally standing on top of the fault line. The middle of the street in New York, on the other hand, is not a good place to be, nor is the porch in front of your house. Common sense, people.

How many of us who were living in the San Francisco Bay Area Fall of 1989? It was a 7.1 quake!

Now, about this 5.8 quake on the east Coast just today....Will it scare the freaking hell out of fucking Wall Street Mugols? Be nice to see their wall Street Buildings fall.

Gee thanks. It won't be the moguls who are in the street getting killed by the falling debris. It won't be the bigwigs who are hurt and die. It won't be the fat cats who lose their jobs when the buildings fall down.

It won't be the rich people who can't afford to fix their earthquake-damaged houses.
 
I did not feel it this time, but I have felt slight quakes in the past.
BTW...Rochester is located on a fault.....
