Just felt my first and probably last earth quake of my life, scary crap when the concrete steps you are standing all of a sudden starting shaking side to side!
-
WTF!?!?! Are you on the west coast? Rare to get them on the eastern seaboard.
-
Check the news Brad massive quake hit below Washington felt all the way to Maine. F-ing bizzare!
(Massive for eastern sea board that is)

WOW, it's a conspiracy I bet.
Very strange. I hadn't checked the news yet.
-
Pfffffttt....... snooze.
-
Just heard about it... stay safe... Not unusual, though. An earthquake can happen anywhere at any time.
On Earth.

man I miss all the good squat...everyone is going nutz over it, and I f'ing missed it...WTF
Sam
Only non conservatives felt it! ;D
-
oh so It was BUSH's Fault huh...ahahhahahahahaha
-
Your right, it was probably the hearts of liberals everywhere shattering to pieces in the face of a failed presidency. :)

I'm in southwest VA about 3 hour drive from center lol definitely was surprising!

Made me laugh... http://jmckinley.posterous.com/dc-earthquake-devastation (http://jmckinley.posterous.com/dc-earthquake-devastation)
GOP already chiding Obama for being on vacation and not doing enough to help...
-
even felt it here in central Pennsylvania.
-
Just had a 5.3 last night in Colorado... Biggest since 1973!
Funny thing is we just never get them,,,, Used to get them backin the seventies and they discovered it was the Lowry Airforce Base pumping the old mustard & sarin gas into the ground that was causing them :-O

The two parties get on eachother over the dumbest stuff. Talk about a non issue. Frankly, unless you have widespread devastation like haiti or from Katrina, the president doesn't need to get involved, there are enough police/fire/emt's to take care of most areas with an earthquake of this size.
The president has my permission to sit this one out....although he should have given his jobs plan BEFORE he went on vacation.

I feel cheated... no quake for Rochester NY but we did have a tiny one a few years ago.
-
The closest thing we had was an explosion years ago that shook the crap out of everything. I think we've had a n earthquake or two here. Frankly, I can't remember.
-
We have them in CT but they are not generally felt but only heard. I guess the ground makes some kind of rumble when our small micro quakes happen.
Brad your an donkey's rear end 8)

hehehe, the funny thing is, my wife calls me worse names :(
-
We actually felt one here in Iowa about 10 years ago. I think the epicenter was in SW IL. Crazy

Never felt an earthquake, but my house did rattle when the latest space shuttle blew up over Texas. I remember that well, sitting there talking to my mom before going to a job interview and we heard this loud explosion very very far away and the windows in the house rattled. I felt the tremble of the old hardwood floors beneath my feet.
-
First one I ever felt. I was writing up an order, when my partner says, "hey, are we having an earthquake?" The standing mirror across the room started moving all over the place, then I could feel it up through my feet. I'm on a 4th floor in a 101 year old building, had me thinking I should get the hell out, then I answered the phone. Our control panel on our MHM which on an arm that you can walk around the press was bouncing up and down, got the whole shops attention. I'd say it was kinda cool, but it really wasn't.

I slept through that little one Dave, PS. I have your shirt here.

Riding a scooter down the street and not being able to stay on it.
Waking up with your bunkbed slamming against the wall. The aftershocks were even scarier.
Here's to hoping the A's never play the Giants in a World Series again. Really wrecked house
around here for awhile.

I remember seeing a building in Denver that was built on giant rolling hinges during those days. Yep, when the AF stopped pumping, the earthquakes stopped. There are those who think "fracking" can cause them as well, although it's not been proven.
-
I've been in many earthquakes. The Loma Prieta was terrifying. I rode my bike down to the Cypress structure the morning after. You could still smell cars/people that were burning under the concrete.
Be glad you only had a small tremble. Big earthquakes are NOT cool. It f***s up your entire reality afterward.

Nah, I think it was the Russians ;)

Command, can you find a link to info on the lowry base and earthquakes. I was interested in reading up on it and google turned up squat.

There has been an increase in earthquakes the past few years in Oklahoma. The drilling activity is insane. Wells used to be spaced 1 well in 80 acres. Now days they can drill every 20. Hydraulic fracturing is the method of well completion and I can not help but think there is a correlation between hydraulic fracturing and increased earth quakes. Hell there are some people in Colorado and Pennsylvania where water tables are deep that can actually ignite their water faucets. This can also be attributed to hydraulic fracturing.

I saw that one early today and spit coffee out of my nose...

BREAKING NEWS!! President Obama has just confirmed that the DC earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure fault-line, apparently known as "Bush's Fault". Obama also announced that the Secret Service and Maxine Waters will continue an investigation of the quake's suspicious ties to the Tea Party. Conservatives however have proven that it was caused by all our founding fathers rolling over in their graves.
Sorry, I got it in an email and couldn't help it.
