5.8 Earthquake

Blak Smyth · 08-23-2011, 01:08 PM

Did anybody feel the earthquake centered in VA just now?
Internet says it was a 5.8, we felt it pretty good here in PA.

Edit: They just upgraded it to a 5.9

I was just talking to a client in NJ when he stopped mid sentenced and followed with "Holy Sh*t, I think we're having an earthquake." I asked, "You sure someones not running a heavy piece of machinary outside."

Turns out he was right.

That was wild. I definitely felt it here.

Paulmac · 08-23-2011, 01:16 PM

Friend in Manhattan said she felt it too.

I was born and raised in SoCal, this was very small by comparison but I never expected to feel an earthquake in PA!

Adriftpanda · 08-23-2011, 01:22 PM

Hope no one is seriously injured or hurt.

But really? In VA? I thought you guys had tornados and crap like that.

It wobbled me around in my chair. Only lasted for about 3 seconds here in Ohio.
I thought I imagined it, but Lisa just texted and asked if I felt it.
That's my first ever.

irratebass · 08-23-2011, 01:28 PM

Everyone alright? I just heard about it....nothing happening here in Indiana.

Emjaysmash · 08-23-2011, 01:30 PM

So far no reported injuries or damages yet... but it could still be early.

688sonarmen · 08-23-2011, 01:30 PM

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG... Are my cigars ok

Just a little shaking on the base in Norfolk.

massphatness · 08-23-2011, 01:32 PM

Everyone in my office is going crazy because our building shook for about three seconds.
