East Coast Quake

Lol.

This is interesting, I'm suppose to fly to D.C. in few weeks. Hope nothing severe is going down there.

Then again, I heard a hurricane is going to sweep east coast of Florida "off the face of the earth."

So.....cheers!

Impacted buildings in Boston - lots of slightly swaying stuff on my floor.

Some noted damage in Tysons.

i go to school in Frederick, MD (Hood College), was in dorm room which is on 4th floor, i felt the thing and was very confused until i got a call from my dad who was in virginia at the time and told me what it was lol

Something to keep in mind that an earthquake can happen just about anywhere. There are faults capable of 7s even on the eastern seaboard.

The biggest risk in the Midwest would be another New Madrid event.

Maybe a relatively small event, but a wake up call since there are nuclear reactors all over the place too.

Stay safe folks.

I was sick in bed, asleep, at the time of the quake. I'm only about 100mi or so away from the epicenter, and I didn't even notice it.

The only thing I had to suggest that there was something wrong was when I woke up an hour later and tried to make some phone calls and kept getting messages that all circuits were busy.

Another Midlothian here (seriously? what are the odds??), was working in the kitchen at work when it happened. Customers in the lobby were freaking out. At most it was a loud rumble, but nothing vibration or sound wise worse than what you'd expect being near road work. It did knock out cell coverage for the area it seems, for about 20ish minutes.


It rates as a "meh" on my awesome meter. Maybe if I wasn't up to my eyes in food needing to be made with my coworkers spazzing out and a manager in a fetal position on the floor I could of enjoyed the event a little.

Didn't even know about the quake until i was leaving work. i work in Connecticut, so it wasn't very close to the epicenter. With assorted power tools going and a compressor that vibrates the building slightly by itself no one in the shop noticed the quake at all.

In Wake Forest, NC - it was noticeable, but nothing big. It lasted long enough for me to wonder why the wind had picked up so dramatically, and then to realize it wasn't the wind. Just when I was thinking, hey, earthquake, it ended.

And the dogs didn't freak or anything. I kinda wished they had.

Checking in as yet another Rockvillian bemused by our 30-second trembling of the foundations of heaven. I know and called plenty of folks working for various governments and a lot of them were forced to mill around outside of their closed-off buildings for an hour or so of fantabulous weather before being sent home.

Long term consequences may indeed be serious, and Turg's video is nothing to laugh at, but so far it's been pretty inconsequential for a nearly 6.0 quake.

*knocks wood*

Stay safe, folks!

New Jersey here. I didn't actually feel the quake (I was driving), but several of my coworkers did and the theme park I work at shut all the rides down for a while afterward.

Mississauga Ontario Canada here, (Just outside Toronto) and I felt it in my apartment 12 floors up.
I was sitting on the couch and it felt like the building was swaying in the breeze. My 5 Month old was looking at me confused. So I told him that was his first earthquake and to be thankful we aren't near any significant fault-lines!

I think my horse felt this coming just before it hit - I was brushing him down, and he went totally still for like a minute before the quake hit.

My first thought was "well somebody got an earthquake machine working".
