Obama's fault? Pestilence and now earthquakes?

Just felt our whole office building shake here in Northern Ohio. Lasted about 10 seconds. Anyone else feel anything??
Tornado warnings up for NEO...
New London, Ashland areas
They’re just reporting it on Fox News.
Exactly, considering we face constant threats of tornadoes this time of year, an earthquake is exciting.
Of course, no damage or injuries have been reported, thank goodness.
I really think God is trying to get our attention....OBOY!
I understand.
I have been on the toilet a few times during an earthquake.
I also agree with my fellow Oregonian that the East Coast now can understand the “nervous anxiety” that resonates post an earthquake.
It is just a natural reaction.
The endorphines of flight start flowing.

Well, it didn’t really feel like much, but a little unnerving. I remember feeling one years ago - probably in the sixties...
When I lived in California we didn’t even look up for a 5.5.
California's soil, sandy/loamy, dampens the long distance effects of most quakes. Wherein east of the Mississippi, the bedrock allows even a 5.5 quake's effects to 'travel' much greater distances.
I haven’t felt anything here in NW, PA (ANF).
Here's an article from 2000 that reports about faults in Eastern NY:
Here's one section of it:
"Faults on major cities?
Jacobi and colleague John Fountain, along with a host of students, studied a small, remote portion of a long, flat plateau that stretches from Ohio to upstate New York and into Canada. From the ground, the plateau appears relatively featureless. Geologists call it pancake geology.
From space, though, the studied patch of the rocky region is revealed to be riddled with faults, and Jacobi says the finding may challenge assumptions of seismic safety for Cleveland, Buffalo and Toronto -- all of which sit on the same plateau.
"All those cities were assumed to have no faults," Jacobi said in a telephone interview. "And what we're suggesting is that there are more faults than we suspected."
Where in northern Ohio are you located?
Everytime this man speaks it seems like something weird happens (earthquake, weird thunderstorm in Chicago on Memorial Day, flies, rats, bees...)
I think I can remember at least three quakes like this in central NY. They’ve been few and far between. This one seemed a bit stronger than the other two though.
This is true..shudder.
Storm was going through in Monroe Co., Michigan about the time the quake hit...didn’t get to feel it. Bummer.
Obama's fault? Pestilence and now earthquakes?
Earthquakes? I’ve got plenty of them!
Where I grew up (Central Utah) is full of faults, and I’m no stranger to quakes.
I’d rather have a quake than a tornado or a hurricane.
But I’m sure folks in areas beset by those would rather have them than quakes.
Still, I hope there wasn’t too much damage, and that no one was seriously hurt.
