DC/MD/VA Earthquake

Dolmen · 2010-07-16 06:37

Did any of my DC Metro area brethren feel it? I slept right through it and thought Mike O'Meara & Kirk McEwan made it up on the radio this morning.

My mom never noticed it but a bunch of my friends did. They're in Frederick and it just registered as a slight "boom" and a mini rumble of sorts. First thing i saw when i woke up today was about the earthquake, so obviously i had to call around.

Not a thing.

Not I, but I had delicious alcohol sleep

Or another reason for the Metro to break down/cause huge delays/kill someone else.

Yeah didn't feel a thing, baby woke up early this morning, maybe that was the reason.

Yeah, kinda nervous about going home now.

It was a 3.6 and there haven't been any aftershocks, don't worry about it.

**Judai** · 2010-07-16 07:49

I was actually up and it was nothing. I thought our air conditioning kicked in or something, didn't even think about it being an earthquake until a few mins later. Was like, hmm, would be kinda cool if that was my first earthquake but no way, lol. Lasted like 2 secs and was a weak rumble and I'm like 10m from the epicenter.

**Iremire** · 2010-07-16 07:56

I don't think i was close enough

I grew up on Air Force bases, and lived in the flight path of Dulles for a while, so I don't think I'd have noticed it even if I was up. I wish it could have been more exciting.

**octopus** · 2010-07-16 08:28

Didn't feel anything at all

**Rellikard** · 2010-07-16 08:41

My mother woke me up complaining about it. Thought she was crazy till I checked CNN. I slept through it though.

Inb4 Calitards talking about how bad ass their quakes are.

There's not a writing utensil on the planet that doesn't instantaneously combust in the presence of Tyven. I'm sorry Max but your only option is to tell your grandchildren about that that one awesome guy that you knew.
