Nothin here

Pico and ME · 08-23-2011, 02:31 PM

I don't think it made it to Indiana either.

I'm fine. I was coming back from a camping trip with the kids, and stopped in a hardware store near my house to pick up some things. Lots more smokers than usual standing outside the next door bar. Walked into the hardware store and the caulk was all over the floor. I asked if there was an earthquake, and the clerk looked at me like I was an idiot.

I decided to forget the hardware store and head home right away. Everything appears to be fine here.

I just wish everyone would get off the phones. I'm expecting a call from my wife to come pick her up at some point, and I can't reach her because the circuits are all busy.

I certainly felt it... I work in downtown DC. Just about to get on the elevator. The door opened and the elevator was just shimmying and banging in the shaft, the floors were swaying... and this is inside the Treasury Bldg.

There are some interesting reports rolling in from around Virginia
(although this thing was large enough to allegedly be felt from Boston to Atlanta).
MOST interesting is this report from FOX news saying the Washington Monument might be "tilting."

no corroboration available as of yet

BigV · 08-23-2011, 03:12 PM

to the left, no doubt.

you will be waiting a LONG time for corroboration. be sure not to mistake an echo for an independent verification...

I actually work in VA.

I felt it. It was definitely the strongest I've felt, as an East Coaster. Apparently traffic is insane from all the people heading home early.

But "strongest I've felt" isn't saying much. The trees outside barely moved, and I know at least one person who didn't feel it at all.

Good fodder for office chat, though.

Checking in From upstate ny. We felt it an hour north of Albany.

Sam, you okay? I didn't feel anything, but I am quite far from the Colorado-NM border.

ZenGum · 08-23-2011, 09:41 PM

Nothing here, but news services saying the pentagon was evacuated.

They should have locked the doors immediately. Perhaps we would have gotten lucky.
