Who felt the earthquake in DC?

haha this thread is hilarious

 

Or it can keep moving the stress to one concentrated area in an adjacent plate, making it even worse for somewhere else.

 

It's difficult to predict the timing, but generally speaking, for a magnitude 6 event, there will be 10 magnitude 5 events nearby associated with the relaxation of the stress.

I see colorado has already gotten 4 aftershocks from their quake this morning.

My sister lives in Virgina Beach and she called me and said she's worried about aftershocks. I dont think I helped her.

 

my parents did in powhatan

i found this very very funny!!!!

i feel smarter reading this

 

You silly east coasters -- you have probably never heard this before in your sheltered lives , but next time it happens "duck and cover". Don't confuse with "stop, drop, and roll" unless you plan on rolling under a sturdy desk.

 

Im 40 miles from there!

 

I read that "under" was not a good thing Like smashed by the sturdy desk

 

Hell didn't know that. I would of that 3.5 would be deep. Guess this is what i learned for taday.

 

Are you a professional geologist KPT? (I forget if we might have we talked about this before?)

If so, I am too.

 

Better than getting smashed by a non-sturdy roof or non-sturdy chimney without a sturdy desk there to absorb at least some of the impact, no?

 

So for someone who works in the basement of a 9 floor hospital, you're saying its a bad idea to go to work tomorrow...

 

felt it in williamsport

 

Berwick, PA!

 

Felt the one on the Colorado new Mexico border considering i live about 18 miles to the southeast of where it hit at.

 

This guy told me....beside the desk, or car, not under.

 

there was also a 5.4 quake in the trinidad colorado area overnight

 

Stay away from my sister

Yeah I'm a structural geologist. I'm in the petroleum industry, what about you?

Yes I am.

 

They've already gotten 2.8 and 2.2 magnitude aftershocks.
