5.8 Earthquake in Virginia

[LiNuX]

About 10 minutes ago, a 5.8 Magnitude Earthquake occurred around the Virginia and Washington DC. Not many news reports out on it yet.

But I felt it and I live in NYC. My aquarium actually spilled some water because the water was swaying back and forth so much. At first I thought I was getting dizzy because my chair was moving back and forth. And then when I stood up, it was still there. Didn't last very long though.

Anyone else feel that? I have someone in North Carolina and Upstate NY tell me they felt it.

Let's hope that it didn't cause too much damage at the epicentre and the surrounding area!

I live to far away to feel it (Oregon). But some people over here at the office just started talking about it. Hopefully everyone is alright. We will have to wait to hear more I guess.

Spilled my maple syrup all over my moose-pelt, beaver-fur-lined hockey stick covers :(


Serious though, gonna look into this. Hope no one and nobody was seriously injured in this. Seems like there's a lot more earthquakes and other natural disasters occurring lately.

From what Ive heard they've found some minor structural damage- but nothing too crazy as far I know. "Some say the end is near, some say well see Armageddon soon...." :P

He recreated the event and was a bit over-dramatic lol.

I fail at online sarcasm, that's why I don't do it much.

I was sitting in the lounge at school when it happened, 2 really small people walked by and the room started to shake, i'm like "wtf, those people are a lot heavier than they look" but after they left the room It continued, so I looked around quickly to see if anybody was jumping up and down obnoxiously or something.

Later I texted Ilyich and was like "fff earthquake" and he responded "sorry, was jumping up and down"

Sorry Mizel the video games of now WILL be real life in the (Post)Apocalypse, and any video games that will be made, if any, will consist of story lines such as Paying Taxes, Having an Office Cubicle, Failing Exams, Getting Parking Tickets, things of that nature ...
