Knuckledragger 3,709 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 5.9 magnitude quake rocks East Coast. I didn't feel a damn thing here in B'town, but others as far as Boston are reporting noticing it. There are a lot of H-Cers near the epicenter. Everyone's headphones still on their stands?

catscratch 147 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Got a fairly mild shake (NJ), nothing serious. I hope this isn't what Obama meant when he said he wanted to shake things up in Washington. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tkam 2,232 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Felt it here in Pittsburgh, PA - office building where I work shook a little bit (we're on the top floor) - it's a 7-story building with 4 of stories underground. Also heard from my brother in Columbia, SC they felt it as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yikes 2 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 felt it in PA about 70 miles north of Philadelphia. Not much of a shake, but it's the 1st I've ever felt in PA. I've felt small quakes in Co. Ca. and even one in Japan. All small with no damage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HeadphoneAddict 318 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 We had a 5.3 earthquake last night in Trinidad CO about 11:46PM (still many miles away), but I and about 50 others just west of the Broadmoor golf course felt it. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi/events/us/c0005idz/us/index.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bozebuttons 212 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 It was shaking on long island,first time I actually felt one,wierd feeling.The floor was actually moving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
manaox2 130 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I didn't feel it, but a lot of people on the second stories of the buildings here noticed. I only noticed something was up after trying to find out what was going on with my extremely flaky cell phone service that was affected while at work. Its not often you troubleshoot something here to find out an earthquake was the likely culprit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
diebenkorn 1 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 In Connectanut but did not feel but I remember the one Northampton (knuckle might remember this) where I was half asleep and screamed at the people upstairs to shut up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Salt Peanuts 470 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Nothing up here in northern MasNoNoNoNoNoNosetts. I haven't felt an earthquake since I left Japan 22 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yikes 2 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 A friend in Northampton Mass claimed that he clearly felt the EQ, maybe it skips areas due to standing wave cancelation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nebby 189 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I was surprised how many folks at work ran out of the buildings while the earthquake was going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
