Natural Weather Phenomenae - Deikailo - Aug. 23, 2011
Talk about natural disasters and such here. No need to create new things for specific incidents.
So the general consensus is I'm not crazy and there was an actual earthquake just now in the northeast US. Who felt that?
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Kai-V - Aug. 23, 2011
The repercussions were felt even in Québec ... Are there any damages in the United States ?
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Flame Aries - Aug. 23, 2011
I DID!!!!! I THOUGHT THE DEVIL WAS IN MY HOUSE!!!!! That was creepy....
@ Kai-V not that I know of...
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Sparta - Aug. 23, 2011
I was just reading about that on FB. Unfortunately, I didn't feel anything, but it happened. How big was it? Where did it strike?

Just now, there was an 5.9 earthquake in maryland. I was scared as shat. Took my shoes and skateborad
.
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - NoodooSoup - Aug. 23, 2011
I am literally the only person who did not feel the earthquake. My mom called me from work telling me that everyone there felt it. Everyone except me.
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Nano - Aug. 23, 2011
Bey-Heart said everything is OK. He was over by the main part, I beleive.
He said the only thing that fell was a drawing XD
A bunch of us were talking about it after it happened XD
Glad nobody was hurt. Wasn't it a 5.8?
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Deikailo - Aug. 23, 2011
It was a 5.9 in mid-Virginia so it could not have been a 5.9 in Maryland, although, if I felt in on Long Island, then it must have been huge in Maryland.
It was updated to a 5.9 a few minutes after I originally checked.
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Hov - Aug. 23, 2011
The news said 5.9 and if it got to 6.0 it would've been history for MD I think lol. I think he said that. My golf club fell down also. Never been that scared before....

Phones are down in Maryland and a few other states. So it must of been?
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Deikailo - Aug. 23, 2011
The earthquake itself was 5.9, but as its radius expands, the magnitude goes down.
Funny, I though I was just so tired and dizzy that my eyes were just shaking. It wasn't until I saw the lamp shade move that I knew it wasn't me.
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - NoodooSoup - Aug. 23, 2011
Speaking of natural disasters here, and not just the earthquake, apparently a hurricane's coming to the East Coast of the U.S. Florida to the Carolina's are the ones at most risk, although states farther north could experience blackouts from powerlines that were knocked over, and some storms. The article is here if you guys want more info, I guess.

Kinda like a ripple in a pond.
Hah, I know that feeling. I also start to loose balance XD

I thought it was strong winds, so I was thinking tornado... Don't ask...
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Flame Aries - Aug. 23, 2011
Man, what's going on with the East Coast? It had storms all last week and now this...
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - KCPJ - Aug. 23, 2011
This was my first eartquake,wierd feeling though.
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Yami - Aug. 23, 2011
Okay so i felt an earthquake but, what funny is that i thought i was shaking the chair then i felt the floor shaking so that my story
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Sparta - Aug. 23, 2011
I didn't feel it either. My dads good friends live right where it happened. We got so scared that we texted them, but they responded saying:
"We definitely felt it but WE'RE FINE"
The caps made me feel better. They were just worried about us worrying, so that's a relief.

When we ARE hit, we have to get the pails to bail the waters from our quarters.
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Dan - Aug. 23, 2011
I felt nothing. :V
Though I know it is easier to feel from top of my condominium rather than first floor off the ground.. (From experience last summer.) Yep hope no one is/was injured!
Stop these phenomenae with your knives, everyone!!!
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Annoying-Fork - Aug. 23, 2011
Are local power grids supposed to switch off when the external temperature gets too high? We had a rolling blackout here in Arlington Texas recently.
RE: Natural Weather Phenomenae - Nuzumaki90 - Aug. 23, 2011
It was that big?!
Jeez, the worst it did to me was move my TV lol
Edit: I forgot to quote Rotation xP

You were in a basement? Wouldn't that make it easier to feel?
Actually, you're in Quebec, right? I was told it was felt all the way up to R.I, and all the way down to GA.
