hey, C-day! how are you? - did you guys feel it?

my 17-yo was at the gym...on the treadmill. at first thought, "wow...we're really making the place move today"

:P

I KNOW!!! It’s HAARP! Chemtrails. Castro farding. Sheesh.

USGS folks, go to ANSS for magnitude and report. And then notice the others earlier in the week and last week in Colorado. Important yes. I’d watch things in St. Louis frankly.

Here's the report from FoxDC. Not as bad as the spires coming down, but still, the article says the central tower lost the tops and might be leaning.

I am thinking it was during an on-going news conference for an unrelated issue, during the event earlier....I just caught the tail end of the report as the news conference quickly ended as the room shook.

[newnhdad]

thanks for the technical breakdown. I’m pretty certain that a faultline was not running down the street, I was just being factious.

Relax..if Laz doesn’t try to hit on at least some FReeperette every thread, it means he’s dead..

[SOSCEO]

It wasn’t an earthquake, that was Obama’s approval rating hitting an all time low!

[Darksheare]

So what if bizarre poltergeist things happen while I’m asleep.
It’s not my fault, honest!

But, I will admit to dreaming about DC.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Must Pitt businesses evacuated.

[Mr.Unique]

Well, when's the last time a quake hit that part of the country?

March 28, 2011. OK....

[tcrlaf]

The aftershock is about 3 miles southeast of the original....

I read somewhere that the Sylvatus fault is the largest fault east of the Mississippi. Is that true? Maybe it is just the largest in Virginia. I know it runs through Carroll and Grayson counties. I would like to see a map of it.

IIRC, the Aerospace museum on the mall has a huge glass front wall....

"Saw a tweet that Verizon has no infrastructure issues - just butt loads of people trying to use the network, at the same time."

I've tried to explain to my wife time and time again that our Communications network will crash like a Led Zeppelin if a real catastrophic event occurs and it will have almost nothing to do with infrastructure. 300 Million plus people all trying to contact someone or find out news at the same time will crush the system faster than any Earthquake or Comet Strike!

Crap Irene may now be cat four at landfall.

” Obama blames Tea Party for DC Earthquake “

Would not surprise me one bit : )

[Jonah Hex]

We felt it up in Newport News.

[DoughtyOne]

Just glad do know that you folks are doing okay. Take care.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yep : )
