I felt a little dizzy up here in NE Pennsylvania— but what else is new?

AM / FM radio seemed to be effected for a period of time. Back to full coverage currently, no outages of AM / FM stations.

” Maybe we need EarthquakePAC to affect policy in DC?! “

Absolutely.

There was a 5.8 recorded in 1897 in Giles County,Virginia and that was the state record.

I was eating lunch in a restaurant in King of Prussia, PA

the whole place was shaking

although it was all over pretty quick, maybe 20 or 30 sec?

but everyone knew or suspected immediately, we were all saying “wow that must have been an earthquake” although it wasn’t violent enough for stuff to fall off tables etc.

I think we are maybe 150 miles northeast of the epicenter??

Usually takes a while for damage assessment. Hope it is slight.

FRegards,

KYW news (AM radio 1060) was reporting a water main break has closed PA Rte. 23 at Valley Forge National Park

apparently attributed to the quake

Was an interesting challenge for us Verizon customers. Social networks on land lines were all good for communication.

Was in Surf City on Long Beach Island in New Jersey along the shore at the time. Funny, but just before, I noticed that dogs were barking which is something I never hear.

Cause as soon as I knew it was an earthquake I called her. I got that rapid busy signal when it’s out.

&&&&&

You and millions of other people living on the east coast, or who even know anyone who lives on the east coast. Phone service wasn’t “out” because of the earthquake, but because everyone needed to reach out and touch someone.

I heard on the radio that little (population-wise) Howard County’s emergency center got about 750 911 calls in just a few minutes -— people phoning to say they felt something! Good grief!

Shouldn’t be too hard to use lasers to determine if it’s out of plumb..
