Earthquake in VA, MD & DC?

ZCarMan · 08-23-2011, 03:08 PM

Was in the office and felt it. The whole building was shaking and ceiling material started falling. Friend was in a meeting next door and said he looked out the window and saw the frame moving back and forth side to side. We all went under our desks for about 20-30 seconds. Then evacuated and finally released a half hour later. Now gridlock on the highways. 5.9 is the latest magnitude and one aftershock so far.

It just confirmed what I always knew, no way I am ever living out on the west coast

Of course now we have to start worrying about what Irene might bring out way.

The funny thing is most of my life I was out in California and earthquakes are common there. When today's quake struck it didn't take long to figure it out but other here who haven't been through something like this were freaking out.
