DAMN
In Upstate NY, 5 miles outside Syracuse, I felt it around 1:50 pm. The building was mind of swaying back and forth on top of the foundation. I wasn’t sure what to make of it...
“Seismic risk: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s estimate of the risk each year of an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage to the reactor at North Anna was 1 in 22,727, according to an NRC study published in August 2010.[9][10]”
Hmmmm....hope everything is ok there. How close is this to the epicenter?
that’s what we were thinking about too.
Reports are that it was felt in Michigan (Detroit area)

Ex-SoCal here..!! Ha!!
Been thru plenty of quakes........
Even had one here in OK a few months ago....now that was weird!! LOL!!
That’s about right!!
The Big Island. 25 miles or so from Volcano, though we get them over in Kona all the time too.
I’ve been in Pittsburgh several times when we had earthquakes between 5.0 and 5.5. Never felt any of them. Sure felt this one though.
Hmmm.... what does that mean, exactly? ;-)
I feel left out. People all over CT are calling our local radio station reporting that they felt the earthquake. I'm in NW CT and didn't feel a thing. :-(
It was felt here in downtown Boston as well.
Yup. Just reported on Fox a few minutes ago.
Now that’s funny. Good one.
I heard (not felt) loud thunder like noises here in Southwestern IL about the same time this 5.9 quake hit on the east coast. Not sure if it is related or not. But there is/was not a cloud in the sky here.
The thunder noises were loud enough for me to check the local radar. I have heard thunder like noises here before with other minor quakes in the surrounding states, but nothing as far as VA.
Where’s FEMA????? What’s taking them so long?
I have a crack in my driveway up here in Seattle... I want my emergency Federal aid to repair it now!
“Smart-alec comment from Mr. Snerdley (about the earthquake): How would you know if they evacuated Detroit?”
Felt it here in Annapolis. It was crazy. I thought the house was falling down....lol.
Thank you.
Nah, Rahm is on the phone w/ him right now to remind him not to let the crisis go to waste!
Next in docket: "obama downgrade, due to earthquake!"
