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.
