Breaking News! 5.9 Earthquake Hits Virginia!
I live in nova. We've never had an earthquake, that I remember. We just got hit with a 5.8. Some people say they felt it as far north as CT! Insane...

Re: Earthquake hits Virginia
Do earthquakes ever hit Virginia? I'm worried, because I doubt the structures on the east coast were built to sustain quakes.

Yeah. I've always wanted to feel an earthquake. I guess I got my wish.
Virginia had an earthquake earlier in the year, but it was late at night, and small, so not a lot of people felt it. Last edited by Morg; 08-23-2011 at 03:53 PM. |

Re: Earthquake hits Virginia
Apparently it spread so far that it reached Manhattan and other parts of NYC.

Re: Earthquake hits Virginia
Colorado had an earthquake this morning too.
If anyone is interested here is an article about the east coast fault line. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37407341...nd-eastern-us/ |

Re: Earthquake hits Virginia
I live in NYC too, so pray for me?
The Earthquake here wasn't that bad from what I heard. It was more like ground shaking than some kind over devastating blow from Mother Nature. I can already see people saying this is another sign of the Apocalypse.

Re: Earthquake hits Virginia
Everyone who felt it in the Carolinas and Georgia probably live near the east coast fault line.

Re: Earthquake hits Virginia
I was sleeping in bed. At first I thought it was a tornado. Looked out the window and saw clear skys. Then I thought nuclear explosion. Earthquake was my third guess. Then I was concerned about a tsunami. Also, the thought of a meteor impact crossed my mind.

Re: Earthquake hits Virginia
I'm in NYC right now - it was trembling here for a few seconds, and then a few lights went out. I just heard some buildings in the city were evacuated. Freaky!
Our fire warden just announced that everything is fine. Keep in mind this was the same fire crew that originally told us the 2003 blackout had only affected our building.

I was taking a little nap before work. Go figure, I'd sleep through and earthquake. I didn't feel a thing.

Re: Earthquake hits Virginia
Our security guard is actually complaining that he missed it...
It was weird, it was a little trembly, and I didn't think it was anything. Then people around the office were asking if anyone else felt that too. Then the phones started going off and we started hearing that it was an actual earthquake. Always good to have an emergency situation so close to the 9/11 anniversary...
