Was it just me or did everyone else here just feel that earthquake?

Everyone?  What, even us in England?

 Well, no. :) 

It originated in Virginia, and hiot the entore US eastern seaboard. They even felt it in Toronto!

you gys might get the tsuinomi from it

I felt my new Mac rumbell when I shot Snow Leopard into it , certainly shut Tiger up!!

My prayer's go with you in the states if the The North American Tecttonic Plate 

is moving!. 

I think we'll be ok this side of the island.  It'll be the west coast that gets clobbered, so goodbye Liverpool, Manchester, Blackpool, Crewe...

what's not to like?  ;)

So we might be in for climbing the White Horse then! stand by Wiltshire.

We'll be ok in Wales, Ireland is in front of us so they'll get it first, no probs..

:lol:

I guess it didn't reach the midwest, here, not far from the Ohio River.  We can get some decent shake-ups around here, though.  The fault in the area isn't regularly active, but it shows us its stuff from time to time.

Yeah I was sitting at my desk here in new york animating Koji for my client And the building started swaying.
i fired up the Seismic program tied to the motion sensor on my laptop  and got some serious Data.

it orginated in my OLD homestate of Virginia

have togo on facebook and check on my large number of family members that reside there.

Cheers

I'm right along the Ohio river, and it shook hard enough that I reached out to steady the monitors which were swaying, and I could hear the chains of the chandelier downstairs jingling.   0_0

It originated in central Virginia as 5.0
and effect areas as far as New Hampshire

I am waiting to hear from my younger brothers& sisters
after leaving them phone& Facebook messages.

Wolf, if it's any help I have a few friends in Virginia, posting on another forum.  They say all seems ok in their area.

Here in New York, yes. Things shook and bounced a little but that was about it. People from the West Coast of the US would not have been concerned, it was not very powerful. I'm waiting to hear from my niece, she lives in Virginia the epicenter of the quake.

Just Some Official info

EARTHQUAKE

I didn't feel anything. I am in the Bronx, NYC All I heard a weird sound like a low jet flying by overhead and felt like a little sonic boom.. About 3 seconds or less. Didn't feel any shaking or anything. My mother was asleep (naptime) and I was starting to work on a project for a client. I gave up after a couple of minutes because I couldn't get my hand or mouse to co-operate. Weird!

Didn't reach Texas or I slept through it....

Well we're not laughing at you now.

We just had an earthquake here in San Francisco.

I must say, that was freaky.  I had just finished watching YouTube videos of the quake back east and came back to read more of this thread.  I felt the house "bump" and then I could hear things moving, almost shaking.  The house creaked, and then BUMP, and the shaking started.  I grabbed my desk (That's sad...the earth shakes and the first thing I think of is to save my computer.  To heck with me, but save the computer.)  Within a few seconds, it was over.  Looks like it was the Hayward fault or one of the smaller ones in the East Bay.  I'd estimate it was about a 3.5 on the Richter scale.

As someone said here or in another thread, oftentimes, by the time you realize it's an earthquake, it's over.  Thus, it was kind of a thrill when my brother and I were little.  If the quake lasted long enough for us to realize what was happening, we'd look at each other, our eyes wide, and we'd smile and say, "OOoooooo!  An earthquake!"  And that's how it was for me for years and years.  I was the one that always felt the tiny ones and I'd go around to family members saying, "Did you feel it?  Did you feel it?"  While it lasted, it was a surreal, wondrous experience.

Until 1989.  I was in the gym in an office building.  The shaking began as usual and then, I'll always remember this, it was as if the earth shifted gears.  This was not shaking now.  This was violent lurching from side to side.  I could see myself in the mirrors.  I had to squat down and hold onto the drinking fountain to keep my balance.  The weight stacks rocked back and forth.  The blinds swung out and then came back to slap the windows.  The door I'd propped open closed by itself.  An entire rack of dumbbells hit the windows and then tipped over onto the floor right where I'd been doing some stretching one minute before.

Now when there's a quake, there's just fear.  I just hold my breath and ask God to make it stop.

LOL.  Once when we were little, there was a quake and my brother and I were amazed and I looked up at the sky and said, "I hope it gets bigger!"  And it got SO BIG!  We went down on our hands and knees and screamed, "Okay!  Okay!  Okay!  Big enough!  Okay!"
