Earthquake in Virginia

[Bluerauder]

Did you feel that?? :eek:

I was awakened at 5:03 AM this morning when I heard a low rumble and then the whole house shook. Lasted about 10-15 seconds total. Went downstairs and turned on the TV to hear reports from throughout the area. US Geolologic Survey says it was a 3.6 magnitude earthquake centered around the Germantown, MD area.

CAM is shakin' today.

I am about 30 miles south and felt it pretty good. Pretty rare event around here.

The rummble was from 1 of 328 Mega Marauders from CBT:)

That was me starting my car this morning.

Sorry to disturb you Charlie. :D

I actually DID start 1of328 at just about that time, no kidding.

I thought it was 1 of 327; Blues made.

JEEZ Charlie...I thought that you Army guys were early risers!

I was already awake (though still in bed...:D) when the house started rumbling and then shaking.
It felt like a 500 lb gorilla was running around downstairs.
Marianne asked "What was that??"
There were so many possible answers/jokes swirling in my head that I blurted out: "It must be an earthquake!"

It took me less than 24 hours to break that Nasty habit. :P

That ^^^^ is a pretty good description ... but I didn't hear any crashing or breakage to go along with it. :D

[Ladyhawke]

Yep, heard the windows rattling, wondered for a second what it was and then went back to sleep. :sleepy:

I was up at 4:45am and I didn't feel anything. But I'm in Ft Washington MD.

Woke me right up this morning, house was shaking for about 10-15 secs and I fell back asleep a few mins later.

I must have felt it here in MA, because I woke up around that exact time and decided to take a pee... Never wake up at that time but I did this morning. Maybe I just had to pee really bad...

.... 3.6 magnitude earthquake ....

3.6?? Bah!! I laugh at your 3.6!

Wait 'til you've lived through a 7.8. AND a 7.4. AND a 7.1. (In three different years, of course.)

(remember - the Richter scale is infinite, as in there's no 'top number.')

I felt it this morning...it was an awkward feeling...

My aunt felt it in Suitland, MD. Thanks to being overseas i'm missing all the drama back home- 30" of snow now an Earthquake.

I'm just glad that I wasn't on the 'porcelain throne' when it struck!

I would have been either very scared....or very proud!
