August 23, 201114 yr http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/usc0005ild.php I live about 50 miles out of the epicenter. Stuff fell off our walls. Anyone else on the east coast get a taste of this?
August 23, 201114 yr Friend just PMed me about this... I'm central and didn't feel anything though (unsurprisingly?).Dungeoneering teaser irl???

August 23, 201114 yr The epicenter is 20 miles from my house, actually. It's not a big deal. Just a 5.9. Strongest earthquake on record for VA, but nothing to really worry about. As you can see, most people will feel something closer to a 2-3 than a 5.9 like I did...and all it did was shake the walls. edit: awww man, the picture changed. Wtf.
August 23, 201114 yr We felt it in western PA. Nothing damaged...just moreso everyone here going "WTF IS AN EARTHQUAKE DOING IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA"

August 23, 201114 yr Author We felt it in western PA. Nothing damaged...just moreso everyone here going "WTF IS AN EARTHQUAKE DOING IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA" Yeah, that was pretty much the reaction here. They happen so rarely I didn't know what was happening at first. This is probably child's play to those on the west coast.

August 23, 201114 yr What I find funny is that nearly everyone any news station is interviewing is saying this is their first earthquake. And these people are in the mid to late twenties and older.

August 23, 201114 yr I was trying to pee when it hit. Made aiming rather difficult. I felt a 5.8 It was a fun 30 seconds. I laugh at those that panic.

GO OUT AND EXPLORE THE WORLD PEOPLE. I will not travel the world just so I can feel an earthquake.But my point is you visit other places for pleasure, you'll have a greater chance of experiencing some sort of natural disaster whether you wanted to or not. I'm trying to say that most likely the people being interviewed have never been outside the US. Also, the people on TV came off as like "OMG I felt an earthquake for the first time! GET ON MY LEVEL!" which pisses me off even more. ~ 3,072nd to 99 Mining on August 30th, 2009 ~~ 112,084th to 99 Magic on April 16th, 2011 ~~ 131,681st to 99 Crafting on March 29, 2019 ~~ 178,385th to 99 Prayer on April 2, 2019 ~~ 234,921st to 99 Defence on May 9, 2019 ~~ 173,480th to 99 Herblore on June 21, 2019 ~~ 155,160th to 99 Smithing on July 16, 2019 ~
August 23, 201114 yr 5.8 is indeed relatively small. Still i guess it could have caused some injuries or even deaths if people who never felt an earthquake did something really stupid, or someone was very unlucky (i'm thinking having a lamp fall on your head maybe). Anywhere from 6 onwards and i think it could have caused more serious damage. I'm not informed on this - have there been any injuries/deaths?

August 23, 201114 yr Author 5.8 is indeed relatively small.

Anywhere from 6 onwards and i think it could have caused more serious damage. I'm not informed on this - have there been any injuries/deaths? Haven't heard of anything yet. I heard rumors that a building has at least partially collapsed in DC, but I don't know how much merit that holds. A few windows in an elementary school closer to the epicenter blew out.
August 23, 201114 yr Author Felt it, thought it was some construction. Thought it was my dog beating at the sliding glass door to be let back in, then the entire house started shaking lol.
August 23, 201114 yr I had friends from NY to DC blowing up my facebook & twitter about the earthquake.
August 23, 201114 yr I didn't feel anything. I kinda wished I did though... would be fun to experience it.

August 23, 201114 yr We felt it in western PA. Nothing damaged...just moreso everyone here going "WTF IS AN EARTHQUAKE DOING IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA" North-western PA here, and i didn't feel anything. Most likely because i was asleep '_' But i did see a bunch of my local friends post about it on Facebook when i woke up. Kinda' wish i was up for it. Wanted to know what it was like >.> Hexiled Razz.
