Cool, just felt an earthquake for the second time in my life.

Very subtle but felt it!

Where in the “great NE USA” are you? I didn’t feel anything and I kind of feel cheated.

It’s fun if your house (or you) isn’t in any danger of being damaged. :slight_smile: Otherwise not so much.

I felt my desk shake and heard a low rumble, a minute or two later they were talking about it on the news. My wife felt it in the family room but neither of my kids noticed.

@gcbryan, absolutely correct, 120-200 miles away is fine with me.

Haha, I felt it too. I thought I was going crazy at first but then I saw the news.

and it’s your fault. :smiley:

I was studying at my desk when it started with a bang! Like a Transformer landed on the roof. My dorm room shook pretty violently for a few seconds; before it even stopped I stood up and snagged my phone, wallet, L2T, and Gerber folder off my desk :stuck_out_tongue:

Roomie and I left the quad, and heard tons of bewildered chatter emanating from the rest of the rooms on our floor. We were the second and third out of the building. A little surreal, but mostly a professional procrastinator’s dream.

If you like the feeling move to socal

In Southern New Hampshire.

I didn’t feel anything in north east MA.

Isn’t this the second one this year?

Anyone else feel the big one a year or so back in the Virginia/DC area? My whole house was shaking, kind freaky. :)

I think it was near/at Hollis, Maine.

Yeah growing up in socal its the norm. One of the best one i felt was after

a snowboarding trip in Big Bear. We were eating at kfc when it hit. Almost sounded

like a train was rolling down the street.Could'nt even get up to get out .later found

out the epicenter was at the lake.

wow. pretty wierd up north.

My brother’s been living in CA for the past 20 years. In 89 he was living in San Francisco and working in Oakland, crossed the Oakland Bay bridge less than a half hour before it collapsed.

in overall BFD. :bigsmile:

But if we even see the tip of a funnel cloud 90 miles offshore, or get like 35mph winds with gusts up to 40mph, or 1/4” of rain with super-chilly temps in the high 50’s, it’s Katie Bar the Door, brother. Ya never seen so many wussies in yer life calling their kin up in Eureka about the hell they’re going through. 8)

We just had a 2.7 probably like 20 minutes ago. Was sitting on the carpet and my butt shook!!

Live 28 miles south of Dallas. Showed the place where it started and we were lnearly on top of it.

Weird

You guys might like this site, shows a map of all quakes within NZ above a certain magnitude. http://www.geonet.org.nz/
( 19 so far today ranging from ~2.0 to 5.5 )

Talking of quakes that you can hear… we had a 7.0 about a month ago… about 200km down (very deep), you can hear them from a long way off and they travel very far: the 7.0 was felt over a diameter of around 1400km, takes a fair bit of energy being released to move 1400km of land.

Only ever felt one and it was a good one. Guess where I was at the time? Under a car supported only by one jack. I almost messed my pants and just got out before it fell. Didn’t know what was happening at first.

The BBC reported it in the uk as being in Boston and 4.3[i think]on the old RICTA scale…MMmmm Rictafire has a ring to it.

DON…
