Weeeeeeeeeeee!

Took me a good 5 seconds to figure out what was going on, and I've been through them before.

It was an interesting afternoon. First time I recall an earthquake, however slight, in Philly.

[bob]

I didn't feel it, lucky I live in Wisconsin

[Sleepyskull]

I am so upset with nature. The one time there's an earthquake in Maryland and I sleep through it. Somebody's gotta pay.

I didn't feel anything where I work here in New Jersey, but apparently it shook up the wife & kids at home and I also heard from a couple of people at our other offices who felt it as well. So now I'm feeling all left out 'n' stuff. :(

[Leah]

um, I didn't here it, but I was sleeping during that time since I was sick. I got sick from this:

My three kids were in the house and came out to tell me the whole thing shook for a bit.  I did not notice anything myself, but looking back it is possible the horse we were working on misbehaved slightly for no apparent reason at the appropriate time.

(We are in Ontario, Canada, just off the northern shore of Lake Erie, roughly an hour from Buffalo NY)

Same in DE, though we had one in GA about 8 years ago.

The strongest quake I've felt happened in Yucca Valley about 10 or 11 years ago.  I tried looking through the history to find it, but failed (I'm uncertain of the exact date - and there are a lot of them there).  My brain is telling me it was a 5.2 or 5.4, and the epicenter was less than 10 miles from where I was.  The shaking was stronger but shorter than this one.

Apparently there is a previously undiscovered fault line running beneath the nation's capitol.  After consulting with the Obama administration, the USGS is officially christening it the George Bush's Fault.

If anybody can take an earthquake and turn it into a partisan political joke, that would be you, sir.

But . . . but . . . it was FUNNY, dangit!!!!

I've never felt one before.  Didn't even know one happened in VA.  Just happened to notice my bed and computer stand shaking a bit and the floor going up and down.  By the time I figured out what happened, I was more or less like, "HuH?" and put on the news.  Granted, it wasn't as strong here as it's epicenter. 

Hmm.

I actually experiences a couple of quakes when I was stationed in Japan back in my Navy days.  It is a very disconcerting thing to feel the solid earth begin to tremble beneath your feet . . . makes you not quite trust the ground for a few days!!

I'm just glad that property damage was minimal, and at least as far as I have heard, no one was hurt.  I would not have ventured to make a joke out of it otherwise.

I was watching Fox News last night just before bed: all of a sudden Megan Kelly got really serious and informed us about the quake. My first thought was "Please let it be just a quake, a small one and nothing more serious than that" remembering that we're uncomfortably close to the tenth year since the horrors of 9/11.

I experienced one when I lived in Vegas.  It struck during the middle of the night when I was sleeping.  I remember waking up and the room was swaying back and forth.  I thought, "huh, earthquake," and immediately turned over and went back to sleep.  I must've been really tired.
