OTC~ I just saw this on Facebook. Is Mother Nature trying to drive us insane.

Let us know when they report the magnitude.

Thank goodness I'm all paid up on my wind/hail, homeowner's, and earthquake insurance.

They originally said 5.9 -- felt as far as Toronto (have folks living there). NYC -- evacuated office buildings -- it was shaking so much they didn't know what it was.

Yes I did. Just for a couple of seconds though.

I got up from my desk and ran into my living room. At first thought I thought it was going to be the big one from Charleston.

I felt a little thump...I remember looking out the window to see if there was a big construction truck passing. Nerve wracking week!

Totally felt it (Mount Pleasant) was wondering if some large trucks were passing the house ? Saw the water in my glass by the computer wobble. Then my body felt it.. it was weird.
Was wondering if it was going to be a big one.. it was weird... never experienced that before.
Hurricanes yes, earthquake, tremors no !

Hit Wash DC around 1:51pm.

OK back to Irene
