5.8 Earthquake on the East Coast

You guys felt that too... right?

Freaky...

:/

I was outside at work (I'm a nanny) with one of my kids while the other was inside. 1 tremor and freak out session later, I'm just like "That was kind of cool..." lol.

Wouldn't have felt it in Florida huh??

I'm in Virginia, right by DC, so I definitely felt it. I've never felt anything like it before, so I wasn't even sure what it was at first... until it didn't stop lol.

I thought that was cool as shit... growing up in AK we had earthquakes all the time, but I've been here 13 yrs now and haven't felt one since leaving. They evacuated bldgs in my area! Crazy, it was ONLY a 5.8!

OMG...5.9 What da bumbaclot? Strongest quake in VA since the 1800's. I felt that shit...Whoa!!!!!!!!!

My sister's in Keswick....there was no damage right? I can't get a hold of her....should I be worried?
< panicking

Shit why are people making light of this? Will it still be cool when shit start cracking & breaking all over the place? That would cause people to loose their homes, cars, lives..."cool", are you shitten me?

We're having a bad thunderstorm right now....surprised I still have power....
Now wondering if I felt the earthquake too........I assumed it was just the thunder that was shaking the house a little. :/

Some reports are saying they felt it in the Carolinas

All networks seem to be down because I can't text or call anyone. Or at least, everyone is using the networks at once.

wah 😢

my friend in WV just called me on her way to work and said she didn't think there was any injuries or anything but heard that the lines were down and no one was able to make calls in or out of most of VA......

then she's like "hey let me call you back there's a bunch of accidents and a fire up the road, I'll call you when I get to work"

:/ great

am I being dramatic? I have a really bad feeling about this.......like this isn't the end of it?

You are absolutely NOT being dramatic...this shit is not a joke.

While the earthquake itself didn't really freak me out... it's the aftershocks I'm getting a little worried about...

Ugh a 5.5 hit colorado last night. First time I ever felt one that strong. We've had many after shocks since. I no like. Worse thing we usually have to worry about it too much snow.

:/

but on another note your avi is quite appropriate to my state of mind right now...lol....

Thanks PB...glad you're safe too.

Yeah, my whole house shook .. some things fell off shelves.

im outside of Philly ..i was at work dozing off to an instructional video ..and i thought my boss was fuckin with me ....b/c my chair started shaking tremendously ...(like i got caught) ...i fuckin turn around to people panicking lol

I must say ..it was a bit unsettling but at the same time - somewhat cool to experience.

yes, yes i did. at first i thought the couple downstairs was getting really frisky, but then i realized the whole damn house was shifting so it def wasn't that. and then the glass on our kitchen cabinets' doors started shaking. i thought it had to be an earthquake, and then i saw it on the news about an hour later.

...
uranus's square pluto transit had nothing to do with moving the earths tectonic plates bluemoon!

I know everyone was so worried...my sister's fine!

Whackass wannabe earthquake barely did anything....but I'm still nervous about it

See there,air,fire,and water folks...the earth will getcha ..😉

FB thumbs up! I like this. Lol, & there aint shit fire, air, or water could do!!! Hehehe...

I have a brother and a sister that live fairly near each other in Virginia (near Roanoke)... the rest of our Michigan family and friends have been all freaking out, OMG OMG are they okayyyy?!

So I called my sister.. she's fine (was out shopping for new work pants haha), had only felt the smallest of tremors that knocked a knick-knack off a shelf as the ground trembled for a few seconds.. and she'd talked to our brother already and he and his woman are fine too. So at least I was able to calm down the rest of my panicked, freaking out family haha

I beg to differ.

Ask those in New Orleans a few years back...

And? Where did it happen? ON EARTH. Not on Mars, Saturn, or Mercury...ON EARTH, HEHEHE...

And BTW, Dazedscorp I wasn't saying those elements aren't able to detroy, but where is this all going down? Earth? Oh yeah, that's what I thought. 😉

Heh I hit up my friends and family on the east coast in that area when it happened.
Their responses were mostly "The house kind of shook and the paintings moved".

SOOO TAME versus California.

But I'm NOT the person you want with you on an EQ. I start yelling and screaming out of excitement, stand where I'm NOT supposed to, and pretend to surf the earthquake.

It was predicted...

Must watch....

^^^Whoa...another to be expected? OMG.

Apparently there was an aftershock in my area last night, but I didn't feel it while a few of my friends did.

On another note... how about that Hurricane Irene? 😛

I kind of like that you northerners get to worry about a hurricane for once. Ha 😛

I swear Home Depot pays the weather channels to include Florida in every hurricane's predicted path so everyone will go and buy generators and shit.

Hahaha I'm from Southern Virginia, and we always get hurricanes compared to Northern Virginia. But I understand; Florida is always in the predicted path lol
