mustafabey Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Oh yeah felt it here! I've experienced earthquakes in Asia, but in Oriskany,Va. Wow, no damage though. I was surprised how solid this old farmhouse is, there is no concrete in the foundation just unmortared rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zildjian Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 apparently there WAS some damage done (aside from Hass' bowl....RIP Hass...) http://gizmodo.com/5833880/the-earthquake-cracked-the-washington-monument Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah, I heard about that... The huge penis now has to be repaired. I tell ya, to build a monument of a penis after a guy who blatantly said, "Do not build monuments in my honor," is pretty damn disrespectful. Just sayin'.

atalanta Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I felt it. Thought it was pretty cool when I realized that it wasn't a truck. Then I had to jump up because the speakers were about to rock off their shelf. Glad it was a work at home day, I don't think they felt it so much in the NYC office. Ok, CA, you get one pass for snowstorms. LOL (my friend who lived in CA for 8 years (SF area) got to experience her first earthquake - she lives in NJ now LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judgeposer Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 At the time I was heading to my office from lunch, all of which were within blocks of Ground Zero, in lower Manhattan. It doesn't take much to set the City into alarm-mode, let along that part of the City. Once everyone started getting texts or otherwise heard news that it was an earthquake, everyone settled-down. But, no, I didn't feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
