Speaking as a southern Californian.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 23/08/2011 08:31:29 PM
A 5.8 magnitude earthquake isn't "strong". I get it...it's something somewhat rare for you guys back east. So it is noticable and such. But I do have a grin on my face about how "strong" it was.

You want strong....try something above 7.0

A 5.8...that would barely elicit comment here. Anything less then that isn't even worthy of getting up off the couch. I am glad that everyone is ok. I'm just wondering if the looters are going to come out still.....

We didn't feel it in Norway Camilla - 24/08/2011 04:25:42 PM 674 Views
You're right, the reason it's news is because we don't get earthquakes that poweful. Hence, I posted *NM* LordPerrin - 23/08/2011 08:34:27 PM 308 Views
You'll be ok. But if you're feeling the paranoia..... Jeordam - 23/08/2011 08:53:36 PM 757 Views
I doubt things are broken- it wasn't too strong by the time it got to me, at least 100 miles away. LordPerrin - 23/08/2011 08:56:34 PM 829 Views
Probably worth remembering most of the buildings aren't designed for that Isaac - 23/08/2011 08:38:08 PM 699 Views

Pretty scary event when it's so shallow. Rebekah - 23/08/2011 08:36:01 PM 646 Views
It was...weird, since I'm not used to earthquakes. LordPerrin - 23/08/2011 08:38:57 PM 634 Views

Widespread tremors, alright. You guys OK, I guess? *NM* LordPerrin - 23/08/2011 09:59:22 PM 282 Views
Yeah, thanks. Very minor. I actually didn't feel it, but a bunch of my family/friends did. *NM* Aemon - 24/08/2011 03:55:51 PM 266 Views
Richmond, VA... definitely felt it Mat Maniac - 24/08/2011 06:44:39 AM 704 Views
