Virgina earthquake

[Schultzy]

Felt it here in the middle of NC. I thought my water heater or my AC was going to blow up.

Then I thought it was teh aliens!

I'm a long time resident of California. a 5.8 barely gets our attention around here. I think earth quakes feel like you're surfing

They are scary because there ain't a thing you can do about it.

you mean as opposed to the hurricanes you get in the south east?

You can run from a Hurricane. You want to try running from an Earthquake?

I was on the stage at school setting up a video presentation for tomorrow when it started. We all looked up at the ceiling, as the speakers, lights, acoustic tiles and curtains all started shaking.

It literally sounded like a tank was driving by on the second floor, and then we realized that at that location there IS NO second floor over the auditorium.

maybe the guy who predicted the end of the world by earthquake is right

They are scary because there ain't a thing you can do about it. I was in the 1989 quake in San Francisco.

Sure it wasn't the 1906 San Fran quake, Apache? (always an opportunity for an Apache/Old joke)

5.9? That’s what us Californians use to stir our coffee with

I was on the coach and saw the whole house shaking, it scared the hell out of me. First time experiencing this.

It wasn't until this morning that I started wondering just why in the hell does anyone choose to live in California if they have to deal with 6+ magnitude all the time and the Big One is overdue? 130 miles or so from a 5.9 is bad enough.

Plus, it's just really expensive to live out there. Though not too much more than the DC and NYC Metros I suppose.
