Earthquake in VA

Didn't feel anything in NYC. Either way don't get why everyones overreacting so much.

Supposedly, the Washington Monument milt be tilting from the quake, lol.

Felt it here in Lebanon, PA around 1:55PM. I was still in bed failing at sleeping like all morning when I felt the rumbling. Thought maybe it was a big truck driving through the development or something until it started getting stronger little by little. I sat up real quick and grabbed onto a figure about my head to stop if from rattling around and realized it wasn't a truck and was getting stronger. Everything in my room started to just rattle around. Grabbed my towl from an earlier shower and went to my door. Rest of my family(dad, sister, brother-in-law and 4 teenagers) were like "wtf is going on?" when I yelled down to them, "It's an earthquake."

It's a bit freaky at first but really wasn't much. It was no worse than the one a year? ago in Lancaster. The news coverage about the nuclear plants just made me shake my head. Really? Playing it up as much as possible?

They "supposedly" shut down the bridges in Reading. I'm hearing "supposedly" one of the bridges cracked. I can totally believe it because they're in such horrible states to begin with.

My dad said in his 64 years that was the first one he's ever felt.... although he does sleep.. a lot.

ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS

Are my Pats ok?

Didn't feel it in NJ cause I was on a firetruck, but my facebook couldn't be more annoying.

NJ EARTHQUAKE
OMG DID YOU FEEL THE EARTHQUAKE
HEY WOW EARTHQUAKE I FELT IT

So annoying. It was barely anything at all, especially here.

**Day** · 2011-08-23 15:14

Really I can't imagine people would post this on FB considering earthquakes you can feel on the east coast happen every day.

Friend said she didn't feel anything on the 24th floor but the bottom level did.

So my house started shaking. I pause for a moment to confirm what it is, then try to sense if it is dangerous enough to react to. I determine it is not and continue running up the tunnel. A rogue saps me, then ambushes me. I keep running, I notice our flag is not there, so I turn around and start attacking the rogue back. The house stops shaking, I kill the rogue, cap the flag. I then go pick up and cap two more flags, get the Ironman achievement on my new alt, and then get on Facebook/Twitter to see how everyone was reacting to it all.

I wonder if this is applicable. Anyone get a status update/tweet/whatever before the seismic wave hit? lol...

**Lucavi** · 2011-08-23 15:19

Was in a library in MD when it hit. Lots of shaking. Good times.

I was on the first floor, sitting down or probably near my chair somewhere. Neither myself or the other person also working in the room felt anything.

**Militant** · 2011-08-23 15:22

I feel ripped off. Like 70% of people on my FB saying they felt it... was at work, and I don't work behind a desk, and I'm usually moving the whole time so yeah I didn't feel shit.

**altwight** · 2011-08-23 15:23

All my noob facebook friends say they felt it down in central AL but I'm 99.99998% sure they're just being noobs and heard about it and want to be cool and say they felt it.

I felt shit.

Not inside the Beltway they don't. I've lived here my whole life.

Unless you mean "you can feel" to be seismologists or their instruments.

Really I can't imagine 800 facebook updates all acting like this thing happened only to them isn't typically annoying.
