[acolyte_to_jippity]

well, thanks to a 5.8 in Mineral, VA, us in philly just got hit with an earthquake.

fun times! anyone else get hit?

[StarsMine]

Yea I found it fun, live in NOVA so :D. Though some of my friends have lost their phone connections and did have things fall in their house :/

[acolyte_to_jippity]

yours was probably alot worse than we had. for us it was just a bit of shaking, not too bad though. nothing that really moved things, just a vibration

[ChrisYoung]

I felt a shook in NYC here for the first time and it wasnt pleasant -.-

Yea, at first I thought it was just the rock quarry near my house that goes off once a day around mid-day, But then 5 secs in We relized it wasnt D: and it just kept going :icon_surprised:

[Hitman]

It was fun in NYC....every was freaking out at the office and they sent us home....love it....

I can confirm that all main backbones are still up. We are still rocking 230GB/s connectivity on 13 backbones! So while the earthquake may have impacted some of your work days it will not be impacting our play time :wtg:

I livei nthe Mt's of NC and felt nothing, but a buddy of mine called from Greenville SC and said he could feel it. There was also a 5.5 in Colorodo this morning.

Yea I saw something about CO on the ticker but thought it was an error. I hope everyone over there is ok too.

Yeah my uncle is in CO right now for a business trip and sent me an email about how he felt an earthquake, i thought he was lying so i sent him an email back saying "haha very funny", I should probably check in with him now that I know he WASN'T lying, lol.

I live in Philly too, I work in City Hall and they evacuated us and closed the rest of the day. The trains south of Walnut are fucked, they are inspecting the tunnels.

The news didn't say anything about north of Walnut. But trains were headed north when I was waiting for the train. I got on the local and they stopped at Walnut and told us. I think your alright to go anywhere besides South Philly.

[Andrew_Pavlik]

I live in upstate ny(binghamton) and I personally didn't feel it or anyone else at my business but my wife felt it and several other friends felt it and they were only miles away sooooo, oh well.

I work with 7 other people and I think I'm the only one who uses the local and the rest use the regional. Makes me happy that my grumpy fuck boss is getting home late.

EDIT: The news just said there was another earthquake in the point of origin again and it was a 2.8.

[elpolloloco]

Oh lawdie lawdie earfquake! Weez all gunna die!

[BladeTwinSwords]

that's how it was everywhere dude. you gotta understand, the northeast US almost never gets earthquakes...so this was somewhat suprising

[BlackRock Shooter]

felt a 7.6 and about 10 4.5-5.5 earthquakes when i was in japan for a month, surprised no one freaked out they were all like eh another earthquake and kept on walking like nothing happened lol. something cool they had was this phone app that lets you know a earthquake is coming like 10 sec before it hits

[Carmichal]

DAMN THIS TEXAS LIFE i want to feel an earth quake :(

[Steamer]

Oh lawdie lawdie earfquake! Weez all gunna die!

LMFAO! I was in DC working and that is how it sounded with everyone running out the buildings. I was in the alley way at Morgan Lewis on G street and it looked like the windows where about to blow out with the buildings wobbling. One woman came running out crying and the other started hugging her and crying with her. I thought to myself... are you fucking serious... I went downstairs and 3 other people are working like jack shit happend, another guy was just worried about his bookshelf fish tank on the 14'th floor lol. Traffic was a fucking joke with everyone running around with elpollo's quote and some lights out. Cell service was swamped. I really didn't think it was that serious... I assume this is going to be an inspection and insurance nightmare.

[VFV]

In greenville, nc i felt it, just about to get into my car and it hit, thought i was losing my mind for 5 secs or so lol.


it was pretty cool

[XxMastagunzxX]

Felt the quake in NC

[brett friggin favre]

im in dallas but my bro's in charlottesville, va and he didn't feel anything. pretty common story haha

[elpolloloco]

West coasters are making fun of us, but they don't understand. If we KNEW it was an earthquake we probably wouldn't have freaked out so much. I lived in LA for 3 years and always WANTED to feel a quake, but never did. The reason I was freaked out is because I thought:

"There's no way this is a quake. It's gotta be something in the basement of my building about to blow up and kill us all"

That's the big reason most people were freaked here.

And to you west coasters who made fun of us: You guys all piss in your pants in Los Angeles when a half inch of rain is expected. OH LAWDIE Lawdie! We're gonna get a drizzle! RUN! RUN HOME!

I guarantee you that about 98% of us in the immediate DC area just assumed it was a terrorist attack of some sorts.
