East Coast Earthquake

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I was in the waiting room of my therapist when it happened.

Therapist didn't feel it.

Previous patient did.

Therapist ran up the stairs to tell the previous patient that it was confirmed by her next patient. 

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I have colleagues I was working with in RI that felt it, as well as folks in Washington, DC that felt it and had to log out for the day they were so freaked out.

*squints*

Yeah, 5.9 is pretty rough.

Doubly glad I'm out of those VA caverns now.

a 5.9 doesn't happen much in these parts. MA gets 3s and 4s often, but almost a 6 on the East Coast is pretty rare.

I had an upstairs apartment in MA for awhile and sometimes felt little vibrations. Thought it was just big trucks going by until somebody told me it was earthquakes. 

I remember the Quebec earthquake from last year, and it felt the same. Never felt that sort of thing before. I know people describe it as a freight train going by, but, it's not really. Wavy is a good term for it. It also weirds me out. When it was hapening today, I knew it was an earthquake but I almost wanted to think of it as a sinkhole forming. Don't ask me why, because that's obviously worse.

I was told several people at The Museum felt it here. I was just down the hall, and didn't notice anything.

YESTERDAY KICKED ASS

I've never been in an earthquake before. At least-- not one that I noticed in any way.

Yesterday my monitor was shaking for about 2 minutes. Then we EVACUATED THE FUCK OUT OF THE BUILDING.

Then we WENT BACK INSIDE

Then I HID and SHOOK THE WALLS of my coworkers' cubicles. They screamed. I laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed. I haven't laughed that hard all month.

THEN THEY SENT US HOME

so my work day ended at like 2:30 yesterday

WEEEE HOWDY

That made me laugh when I read it. Um, you East Coast Spags need to learn that you do not evacuate a building during an earthquake.

After you shook them did you scream

SORRY, FALSE ALARM--GUESS THAT WAS MY .. FAULT !!



And listen to Charley, next time you're in an earthquake, don't evacuate the building!! You need to stop, drop and roll.

Yes we do. Our buildings are not engineered to withstand them.

Is it bad that I assumed this thread was about ECH?  

It is, actually. I was wondering how long it would take for people to make the connection.

And the shit falling off of the buildings will do like Maxwells Silver Hammer all over your head.

I thought the same till I opened it and read.... 

It's your power man, it's stronger than anything and makes us see things that really aren't there!!!

Um...Get buried by floors of debris and falling to your death...

or...

Risk shit falling off of a building?

Fortunately they don't happen that often around here anyway for us to really worry about it, but a 5.9 isn't something to fuck with, well, for Californians maybe, but that's not "mild" last I checked.

Neither are ours.

Which is why you don't go outside, unless you LIKE being killed by falling bricks and sheets of glass.

Speaking of the earthquake, here are some photos of the damage: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/stunning-photos-of-damage-caused-by-the-east-coast

On topic, I remember when I was in my first earthquake, it was at 3 or 4 am. and it felt like someone was shaking my bed. I got up and looked around, no one was around, so I went back to sleep. Couple minutes later a very panicked and uninformed individual was yelling at me to get up and go downstairs because there was an earthquake. SO, I was like "Fine..." rolled out of bed, grabbed pillow and blanket, went downstairs and curled up in an empty nook and went back to sleep.
