yep, i've got that app

What app? The one in your body that lets you feel tactile sensation? Or maybe you refer to the inner-ear mechanism that provides equilibrium. I felt it firsthand, and the house did indeed jump up and down. Some scary shit, right there.

Earthquake strikes US east coast

Residents in New York spoke about the quake which was caught on camera in Washington and at a media briefing in NYC

A magnitude-5.9 earthquake has rattled the east coast of the United States.

The quake was felt in Washington, where the Pentagon and US Capitol building were evacuated, as well as in New York.

The Washington National Cathedral and the Ecuadorean embassy were among buildings damaged, although there were no immediate reports of injuries.

Federal officials said two nuclear reactors had been taken offline near the epicentre of the quake in Virginia but that no damage had been reported.

The quake struck at a depth of 3.7 miles (6km), the US Geological Survey said, and its epicentre was about 9 miles from the town of Mineral, in the state of Virginia.

An initial measurement of 5.8 was later upgraded.

Flights on hold

The tremor shook Washington DC for about 30 seconds, causing office buildings to sway and houses to shake.

The streets of the city filled with evacuated workers minutes after the quake, and police moved swiftly to cordon off key government institutions, restricting access to federal buildings on Capitol Hill.

Television monitors and lights swayed for about 30 seconds as the quake rumbled away, and the mobile phone network showed intermittent service for some time afterwards.

Reports said the tremor was felt as far north as Boston and in North and South Carolina in the south.

Flights from New York's John F Kennedy and Newark airports were delayed while authorities checked for damage from the quake, but later resumed.

The Associated Press said flights out of Reagan National Airport were also put on hold.

The Amtrak passenger train network slowed its trains in its busy northeastern routes, and advised passengers to expect delays.

In Washington, the Metro public transportation system was running trains at 15mph (24.1km/h) while workers inspected the tracks, and likewise said customers should expect delays.

Neither system reported injuries.

Reports of minor damage began to trickle in minutes after the quake struck.

At the National Cathedral in north-west Washington, the highest building in the US capital city, three pinnacles in the central tower snapped off and a fourth was leaning. The 30-storey high central tower suffered minor structural damage.

Workers evacuated from their offices gathered in the Washington streets

Also, the embassy of Ecuador was reported to have suffered major damage.

In Charleston, West Virginia, hundreds of workers left the state Capitol building.

"The whole building shook," a spokeswoman for the state Supreme Court said. "You could feel two different shakes. Everybody just kind of came out on their own."

The AFP news agency said procedures put in place after the 9/11 attacks were activated in New York when the quake hit. Police guided people to local parks and away from tall buildings.

One witness told AFP she saw a Wall Street skyscraper "shaking like a tuning fork".

Another said the 20th floor of the court building he was on "shook like mad" and that everyone was scared.

Fatima Richardson, 28, who was sitting on the steps of a courthouse said: "You could see the building moving. I was just freaking out."

Lower Manhattan office worker Juan Ramos told AFP he was confused after giving blood.

"I saw my cup of coffee shaking but I thought nothing of it. I had just donated blood so I thought I had not recovered my equilibrium," he said

Hahaha...sorry.

I always thought that line was "And the kick drum was default" lol

My wife SWEARS he says "and the saxophone is the FART". I don't know, he had a pretty twisted sense of humor back then, she just may be on to something.

^ LOL I don't feel so bad now LOL

I'm glad we can spread humor about this since this was a rare occurrence. But yeah had to be the kick drum fault.

^ Prince must be back in Minny playing with the kick drum

One hopes his cancellation of the Brazil show is just a coincidence. Where is he now?

me too.... I always thought that, and the sax actually does sound like a fart.

"And the kickdrum is default" makes more sense to me.

Everywhere online it's "And the kickdrum is the fault"
Are they all wrong? Is it really supposed to be "default"

The song is called HouseQUAKE. Earthquakes happen on FAULTS. Therefore, the kick drum IS the fault. Check it out.
