Shocked!
 

Well, I was home for lunch from work. And I guess what I thought was a plane going by & the wind blowing the lamp shade in the bedroom was the earthquake. My dog didn't even flinch. And when I got back to work, they asked me if I felt it. I thought they were joking. You know, when I was younger, we had one here, & my mother said it was a plane going by when we (kids) asked. I guess that still works for me now :shocked:

Omg It Was Horrible In Washington Dc

i didn't feel a damn thing. i was at the gym working out and they made an announcement. couldn't call anyone til a few minutes ago cause the signals were jammed. urgh! i hate when everyone goes into a panic.

oh well..........all we can do is pray that everyone is ok.

Will it looks like it could happen aywhere.I like to see where the fault line is.

Me Too.hows our VA ledgies .are you all ok.Now lets see if theres aftershocks.

I just talked 2 torri from here and she told me the quake was centered only 20 miles from her house! Shes ok though thank god!

where's louie?!

Happened about an hour away from me, first I thought my cat was climbing up the back of my chair rattling it :laugh: but then the whole house starting shaking a bit, lasted about 10 seconds but it scared the hell out of me. I'm so jittery right now aaaaggghhh. It happened in an active seismic area though so I guess it was to be expected at some point, just glad it wasn't bad, no injuries or damage really anywhere and the aftershocks were small.

washington dc was the worst

We felt it all over LI. Probably not as bad as other places but it was definitely felt. It was freaky. I felt it cause my wheelchair was rocking.

Mick

Wow that was close.thank god shes ok.

A good question.


I'm glad everythings ok.

Now we got to look out for this hurricane on the way.

Oddly enough I'm far less worried about the hurricane, I guess because I'm very much used to those. :p

so true. i never felt the ground shake tho. so glad i was on the elliptical when that happened.

freaky...
 

the epicenter is about 20 miles north of me...shook the house for about 20 seconds or so...have had 4 aftershocks so far...I don't know how people in California deal with this...I'm still a bit shaky and I'm tough ;) ...next up, the hurricane...more used to that, though...ah well, I've lived to see Stevie again on Sept. 3rd...all is good...
