Quote - I know ya'll ... are laughing right now...lol. However, it was the scariest moment o my life :P.

Ya, I was in an earthquake when I was a kid, I thought it was kinda fun. ^ ^ Now why don't ya move out to Oklahoma, tornado alley. Had one go over the house a few years back, took out the business 3 blocks west of me, and then knocked the roof off a big church a few blocks east.  I awoke to hear what sounded like a FREIGHT TRAIN going over the roof!

On our way to my wife's cousin's place in Indiana, we passed very near a super cell.  It was during that crazy week at the end of May, when tornados were everywhere. Clouds low and just about pitch black, very dark outside, funnel beginning to form in the distance, and very heavy rains.  All the while, local radio stations warned everyone on the highways to find shelter immediately as tornados were being spotted touching down all over the area.  Scary as hell.

"come to NC, rarely have tornado's, hurricane's rarely land, earthquake.. never"  so here I am..  oh, tornado outbreak, earthquake and hurricane might hit this year too!  LOL

Laurie love your sign! I will unite with you.... tomorrow.

We felt it also in Northern NJ, my son said my deck swayed and the rocker next to him  started rocking on its own.Earthquake was his first thought but we don't have that many on east coast.

I was inside laying down and just figured these were some damn powerful after surgery meds they sent me home with.. give me more!

Last year it was a tornado, which we don't get that often, that ripped through about a mile from me.   This can stop now please...

We got another smaller one last night/early this morn here in VA, round 1:08 AM.  Hubby and I were on the couch watching TV and heard it starting, then felt it.  We were in the car for the first one, so this was technically my first really feeling it.  I just kinda looked over at him, asked if that's what I think it is, and he nodded.  Nothing bounced off shelves this time, but it was kinda intimidating to a technical first-timer. LoL  Of course I can't find anything about this one, since it happened while most everyone was sleeping.

I think I felt it so hard here in PA because I live in a mobile. Just the slightest shaking of the ground would transfer to the posts under the mobile and really shake the hell out if it I would think. It wasn't so much a shaking side to side either as it was more shaking around in a circle. I've had enough now and never wanna experience that again...lol.

Has anyone heard that this earthquake exposed three more faults? The hubby said something late last night but to be honest I was exhausted at the time ;).

Laurie

@Lilwolff: yes, tomorrow is fine with me...lolol. Why do now what you can put off until tomorrow ;).

I used to kiddingly say Virginia was the safest state in the US. But hey,, last year a record snowfall, a record hot summer with 85 days over 90degrees (swampfest) then, twisters hit a few years ago. An eathquake early this week and a hurricane later this week. w t f?

Never hear anything about Kentucky.. hmmm

I think Central Europe is pretty safe... ;PPP if you can stand living there..lol

Aw richardson....lol. I used to say that about PA too :P. I'm rethinking it...lol

Laurie

You can freeze to death in PA and not be discovered until spring...;p  There has got to be a safe place that won't kill ya in the USof A.

Hmmm...

Out west you have deserts and earthquakes and killer bees. Northwest coast, tsunami and earthquake. Midwest and Northwest volcanos in some places. Down south hurricanes and alligators. Midwest, tornados. East cold, (possible hurricanes...like now). Nope, don't think there is a completely safe place :P. Add to all that, Yellowstone is a threat to the entire country should the caldera blow..lol.

What happened to cause the earthquake was Weird Al fell over.

I sleep through earthquakes.
