I know west coasters are used to this shit but we aint, so yeah, it was pretty freaky.

Shit started bouncing off on the walls and I ran to get the dogs out the house. Lola ran out the bedroom barking her head off. My heart was racing for sure.

The firetrucks just left my street. Guess they were checking stuff out.

They were checking stuff out?

I wasn't too scared to notice 2 of them were hot tho.

Good to know everybody is allright.

I haven't felt any aftershocks yet here in Central MD, but we'll see. It only takes a little bit to spook a lot of people here in Maryland, though.

Same in NC.

The only other earthquake I remember being in was last July when I first moved into my current apartment. It was at 5:00am, and I happened to be semi-awake, and I thought I heard a big truck going down the street or an airplane coming in for a landing at the nearby airport. When it was followed by a rumble, I knew. I think they said that one was a 3.10 or something.

I don't think it will happen like that. We live on different soil. If another happened in California, it would be because of earthquakes felt west of it (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, etc.)

lol yeah we had friends in Maryland tells us about the earthquake over there a year ago. I just heard a reporter say there may have been a 3.0 in Raleigh but who knows? It wasn't so massive as the one in Virginia.

Of course, I had to read the end of that as, "Well, hello!" a la Deven Green.

Western NC felt it ! I was on my deck watering and shake shake ... NOT the most powerful one here I have felt in 26 yrs but still moving !

You guys OK over there? Eastern NC felt a rumble too.

I LOOOOOOVE how allz y'all freakin out over this earthquake!

not literally but whatever. It's still phunny!

I miss my earthquakes. NO ACTION here in louisiana...just some boring ass thunder...not even a hurricane(knock on wood).

I know you're joking but trust me, you do NOT want to go through a hurricane. If one is heading your way, leave.

And by "leave" I mean get 100+ miles away from the coast. Moving inland 15 miles won't make a whit of difference.

CNN is interviewing every Brooklyn Hipster they can find.

That's so funny, and true! I tweeted about it within the first 30 seconds that I felt it in NY, and there was already a tweet from DC already posted. If I had been following Twitter closer, I would have read the DC tweet before feeling the quake in NY.

That's why I don't have a Twitter anymore. People start tweeting as soon as they feel something as if it's the end of the world lol

Thankfully Hurricane Irene won't come near us!

NOW I'm starting to see the benefit of Twitter, lol.

I was in my bedroom, relaxing and drinking a beer when it happened. I thought I had, had too much to drink. I then went into my mother's bedroom and she thought it was a part of the war movie, she was watching. Although it only lasted 20 seconds, it was an experience.

Well TODAY has been an exciting lunch, lol.

I first thought all the blankets I was washing shifted in the machine, then the walls shook a little and I thought it was the ocassional trembling from living near Quantico base, then shit started bouncing and I was like OH OH

-ing for y'all because hurricanes are more dangerous around here than earthquakes. Least to my knowledge.
