I thought one of ninja's bombs landed early.

I was driving on I-95 around Fayetteville, NC. Didn't feel a thing... guess I missed it.

Me, I did not feel it, but it did hit here for sure. I came into work a few minutes ago, and had to mop up a broken bottle of Godiva chocolate vodka that jumped off the shelf and hit the floor. It did not bounce too well.

Thank God-iva it wasn't something good.

Sh*t... I'm hoping "closer" means somewhere in WI.

We had a small earthquake in Upstate NY from this one down south. People felt it where I was but I was driving so missed the tremors. Sounds like it traveled north up the fault line. I know NYC was evacuating a lot of areas when they had their tremors.

Kellie and I were sitting at Steak 'N Shake in Spotslvania, Va (4 miles away from Mineral, Va where the heart of the quake was) and the entire building shook. We just stared at either with huge eyes. Still in a little bit of shock from this. Hauled ass down the interstate to get home. Safe and sound.

I'm so glad you've made it home safe and sound. I must admit, however, that when I first heard about the epicenter, I figured you'd made it there . . . and finally hit the sack, just a little too hard.

I thought you were going to say you and the wife were having an afternoon roll in the hay and she felt the earth move.

After all the food at Dom's I thought the extra wgt I put on got away from me...imagine my relief when I heard it was a quake

WittyUserName · 08-23-2011, 04:28 PM

Mu parents live outside of DC and my mom sent me a FB message saying that she thought a big truck had run into a tree or smashed something outside.

Down here in GTMO we did not feel a thing.

Coach Deg · 08-23-2011, 04:57 PM

I really thought this was a bomb thread. Just hope everyone is ok.

jsnake · 08-23-2011, 04:57 PM

Hope all you BOTL & SOTL out that way are ok. Haven't heard any updates since it happened.

hotreds · 08-23-2011, 08:05 PM

Sister in Columbia, MD and parents in Arlington VA felt it pretty strongly; some stuff was rattled off tables, but no real damage. Freaked my sister's cats tho- they do have that 6th sense!

Nothing felt in SW Ohio.

08-23-2011, 05:01 PM

I felt it in my office in Bel Air, Maryland. I left work because commerce pretty much stopped in my area. The highlight of the day is I just smoked a Oliva V Belicoso.
