It's Iamnotaparakeet in action. Repent from your sins, heathens.

On a serious note, though, take care, guys.

5.9 earthquake reported in Virginia around 30 min ago.

Felt the shockwave here. Freaky. :zombiefuck:

That's a pretty big quake for Virginia.

I wonder what fault caused it? :chin:

 It certainly wasn't MY fault.  :angel:

All I know is that if another one hits, I'm going out in the yard. :LOL:

The creaking noises this house made when it was shaking were unbelievable.  :o

Yeah, the houses there weren't built for quakes. That has to be a 1 in 1,000 year event.

Wolf and I were on the road and completely missed it. It was very disappointing.  :thumbdn:

I lived through the Good Friday earthquake in 1964 in Anchorage. Now that was an earthquake. This was a trembler.

yes, felt the shock .

was strange, having an earthquake HERE of all places.

It was mild where I live, but definitely felt a "shake"

I was at Pine Cove (OP knows where Im talking about :) ) and it was like a disparaging feeling, like being off balace. Wasnt sure exactly what happened till the news came on later and said it was an earthquake.

The reason you felt a 5.8 earthquake as far away as you did, is because most of the bedrock in the Eastern US is either metamorphic or igneous, both of which transmit seismic waves fairly well, without absorbing much of them.

The same size quake, here in the west, with all our sandstone and rhyolite, wouldn't be felt as far away.
