Holy Shit!!!!

I was just wondering if anybody here had felt it, as I had just gone to a local newspaper's website and saw it was the first story. Glad everybody is alright. I've never experienced an earthquake here, and never hope to!

Pfft; It wasn't bad.

There was one around 15 years ago with the epicentre about 10 miles below my House.

My place jumped a foot and a half, and everyone else got rattled by a 6.2

It was a good shake to say the least.

Probably won't be going into work tomorrow as they have to clean up some areas before they can allow people in.

I'll be running around as soon as they do making sure things are still working <sigh>

Had a little one over here a few years ago; I was in bed with my now-husband when it happened, so of course he said "Did the Earth move for you too?". I fell out of bed laughing.

Apparently you could feel it here in Jersey, but I don't know where, exactly. Then again, I work in a warehouse so the floor of the office kinda always shakes just a teeny bit from all the conveyors and other machinery.

We had one around here when I was in high school, but I slept through it.

I didn't even feel it, and I am about 40 miles southwest of Ottawa.

Parts of CT reported feeling "something," nadda where I was.

garbage day here, about the right time a garbage truck was rumbling past so i couldn't have felt it over that.

We had a quake when I lived in Vermont; 1.5 hours from the Canadian border. Mostly structural damage like people's chimmney's crumbling; mostly on historical buildings.

According to one of my customers, there's a major vein of very solid metamorphic bedrock. Said vein runs near the epicentre, and all the way down to lower Manhattan in NYC. So part of NYC felt it, while parts of Rockland County (between the epicentre and the City) did not, because that sort of rock vibrates like a bell (imagine Daffy Duck being inside a bell when it rings and vibrating off one side of the screen. I think it's kinda like that).

If you look at a geographical map, you can kinda see some rippling in the bedrock layers. I wish I was better at geography and could actually understand the maps.

It was apparently felt somewhat down here in Maryland on the graphs and what not.

Though they had some lady on the news "the whole office was shaking, I thought I was having a heart attack at first"

Ok, sure.

I'll admit, I thought it was the reno guys upstairs... I literally looked up and said (out loud) "What the hell are they DOING up there?"... I turned around, realized that everyone across the hall was running outside and then I realized it wasn't the construction. It was kind of like when you have a near-miss with a car accident... you're fine until AFTER, and then you're a mess.
