August 23, 201114 yr People here are saying that they felt it. I'm calling bull-[cabbage].We felt it in toronto so you definitely could have felt it where you are. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
August 23, 201114 yr My dad had a flight to Miami via new York today. Hit flight was delayed for a while because they had to circle around the airport a few times to avoid the earthquake. No biggy though.
August 23, 201114 yr Apparently they felt it here in New-Brunswick too, although at the south of the province. I wish I was still living there (moved out to the north of the province last week). I could've known what it was like, although I still probably wouldn't really have felt it.

August 23, 201114 yr I'm all the way at the west so I didn't feel anything. I could already imagine it though since we get so many earthquakes.
August 23, 201114 yr Why are there no conspiracy theories popping up? Obviously terrorists are attacking from the ground. :ohnoes:
August 23, 201114 yr I will resist the urge to make a Gears of War joke. You're all welcome. Get back here so I can rub your butt.

August 24, 201114 yr According to the talking heads on the news, the east coast is denser and colder so the earthquake waves propagate further and can be more intense.Also, buildings on the east coast aren't constructed with earthquakes in mind, so even a small to medium sized one can be devastating. That said, I didn't feel anything in West Lafayette, IN. I was watching the news when it happened, was pretty interesting. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪
August 24, 201114 yr Sorry, I caused the earthquake when I tripped. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.

August 24, 201114 yr Didn't feel anything here (Ohio) though I wonder how bad it could have been, had the earthquake been just slightly larger, seeing as buildings on the east coast are not earthquake proofed.
August 24, 201114 yr I haaaaate it so much when people involve God in their stupid explanations. So many idiot theists out there giving us all a bad name. >.> Sorry to bring up this rant again. It's been said plenty of times. Sarge's posts just resurfaced my hate. | My Tumblr |
August 24, 201114 yr Hmmmm, U.S. nuclear officials said that the North Anna Power Station, which has two nuclear reactors, had lost offsite power and was using diesel generators to maintain cooling operations after an 5.9 earthquake hit the region. The North Anna plant, which was near the epicenter of Tuesday's quake, is reportedly located on a fault line. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission rates the plant as the seventh most likely to receive core damage from a quake. But they say the chances of that are only 1 in 22,727. Also, according to Dominion Power, it was only built to withstand a range of 5.9-6.1. Of course, a long, sustained shaking can be more destructive than a short, but more energetic quake...and the Richter scale doesn't tell us that sort of stuff. But after Japan, this doesn't exactly make me feel good (especially because the North Anna Power Plant is 20 minutes from my house, prolly like 10 miles in terms of distance).

We live very close to eachother then, it's like MAYBE 15 minutes from where I'm at.
August 24, 201114 yr People in California are laughing at us East Coasters right now.Pretty muchAnd then the Bay Area gets hit with a 3.6 not too long ago from now. East Coast sharing their earthquake with us in the West Coast? <3: I was watching the news earlier, and this one woman who lived in NYC for 30 years now said she has never felt an earthquake until today. Except NYC has had its share of earthquakes within those 20 years; small mind you, but still. o.O I guess she was just "lucky" up to now not to feel any.

August 24, 201114 yr I think I'm pretty damn unlucky with the earthquakes, living in California and all. I haven't felt one in years. Either I'm sleeping or driving or something when one happens. :mad: "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."
August 24, 201114 yr Author Well, my college has closed down indefinitely due to structural damage from this quake. No classes for me.
