scared the #$%^ out of me

 

[gregzzy23]

I'm in Brooklyn with my grandparents...I walk into their bedroom and my grandma talking about the chandelier is shaking. She says a lot of stuff, but I look up and that %!%! is actually shaking! I thought it was paranormal activity. Heard people running out the building as well. My grandma talking about "if anything, put the money in a bag and run" to my grandpa

Only found out it was a quake through my TL on twitter

 

[juggy4805]

I'm in Southern Maryland and my whole building was shaking. No one really did anything. I though someone was moving something heavy.

@ at these scared eastcoast dudes over a 6.0. We westcoast people don't get out of bed for anything lower than a 7.0.

 

[bamez]

[nujerzloyalty]

This is what i want to know..

Damn so many NYC'ers are soft. I live in NYC and I was surprised when I felt it, but was also like

when it was over after like 4 seconds. Then I go on Facebook and all I see is "OMGGGGGGG EARTHQUAKEEEEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"...man up guys. It was a 5.8 in Virginia but what we felt in NYC was like a 1.0 so stop being such b's

 

[dens415]

I remember hearing on the history or discovery channel about huge fault lines on the east coast that are waaayy over due for serious movement.

Most of the earthquakes out here in the bay ive never even noticed. I just thought it was the garage door or a big truck driving by.

 

[delete]

i heard on the news saying that we might get an aftershock they did tell people to take stuff down if it's stored in high places

 

[iron mike]

you are a lame if you feel the need to tell somebody "our natural disasters are way more cooler than your natural disasters"

 

[depast]

another tremor coming soon?

 

[|A-Man|]

I felt some swaying in BK, caught me off guard but nothing serious.

On a serious note, hope everyone and your families are all good.

It wasn't a NY earthquake though. It originated in VA and common sense would dictate we would feel some of the tremors as it dissipates given the magnitude of it. What goes down in CA is the foundation of your state slowly eroding and breaking away from the rest of the country until it sinks in the pacific.

So NY > CA

Depends. I get up look around, see other co-workers looking around and then we all sit back down like it was nothing. Then I have other co-workers that panic, run downstairs and outside. lol

*#%%*%$ cosign.  I moved out to North Carolina last year, and everyone at work was saying, "we just had an earthquake!!"  All I said was, "we didn't have a *#%%*%$ earthquake."  I guess I was wrong because it looks like it hit in Virginia.  Anyway, my house was a few miles from the epicenter of the Northridge quake (parents still live there), and that +@*% was nuts.  This was nothing.
