Hazuki Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I just did, too. Honestly, that was the first earthquake I've ever experienced in my life, and I was scared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momo Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 We felt it in Baltimore, they're still talking about it on the news. Wasn't anything more than minor shaking, but it's the first time I've felt an earthquake. Is this what it's like to live in California?

Specta Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Ohio. Didn't feel anything, but I could hear stuff moving because of it. Really confused me for a minute because I couldn't figure out why my window blinds were rattling xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxas Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Didn't feel a thing at all in Northern Jersey. o: ...then again, my friends said they felt a huge shock. Twitter-induced placebo, much? Edited August 23, 2011 by Rock Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) NY. Didn't feel it. Seems it was definitely noticeable in NJ though. Neither my dad or me seemed to notice though. And we were in an elevator too. But there was a bit of a commotion though. In the Union Building especially. Berkley? Not so much, possibly because of the freshman shindig they were throwing, but some people noticed while others felt nothing.On a side note, someone beat me to this topic's creation.

Ragnell Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Didn't feel anything in western Michigan. Sounds really weird. There are no fault lines anywhere near Virginia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) And aren't all earthquakes random?[/color][/font] Not really. If you're near a plate boundary that's alongside another, you should expect them. If you're not, then it's a little more random. I'm trying to recall back from an old geo class, but generally you should expect "random" ones where there's been a dormant fault for a while, like the middle of the U.S. Along active faults and whatevers, it's not so much random--it's just a matter of when. and I may not be near the lower-half of Cali, but goddamn does the weather suck more up here. All the arid air just sits in a pocket of hills, driving out any nice winds. Edited August 23, 2011 by Celice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) There was some talk of an aftershock on the news, but the GS said it was nothing to worry about. I'm not at all surprised, considering what I said a few minutes ago. Edited August 23, 2011 by Elmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliban of Sycorax Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I live in Vermont, we were at an orientation meeting and we felt it, we thought we were still drunk from the night before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
