Still in a little bit of shock from this. Hauled ass down the interstate to get home. Safe and sound.


I'm so glad you've made it home safe and sound. I must admit, however, that when I first heard about the epicenter, I figured you'd made it there . . . and finally hit the sack, just a little too hard. :r

I thought you were going to say you and the wife were having an afternoon roll in the hay and she felt the earth move. :r

Mu parents live outside of DC and my mom sent me a FB message saying that she thought a big truck had run into a tree or smashed something outside.

Down here in GTMO we did not feel a thing.

Hope all you BOTL & SOTL out that way are ok. Haven't heard any updates since it happened.

I felt it in my office in Bel Air, Maryland. I left work because commerce pretty much stopped in my area. The highlight of the day is I just smoked a Oliva V Belicoso.

Last 5.8 we had here in socal, first thing out of my roomates mouth is "dude, did you fart again?"

Sister in Columbia, MD and parents in Arlington VA felt it pretty strongly; some stuff was rattled off tables, but no real damage. Freaked my sister's cats tho- they do have that 6th sense!

Nothing felt in SW Ohio.

Late to the party, been off the forum for a little bit dealing with some stuff.

Like this earthquake. And Irene. And the upcoming swarm of locusts. But that's about it.

My office is within 20 miles of the epicenter. Created havoc for a day or so, just in time for our hurricane preparations. The aftershocks have been interesting too--the big ones immediately after the major quake have been most noticeable, now they're becoming hard to distinguish. 18 total to date:

Well - don't look now, but - by tomorrow Katia will be at hurricane status and turn major by the weekend (Irene never turned major). Her track so far will put her right on the Eastern coast line (Carolina's) if she continues to build.
