There was just an earthquake... IN THE DC AREA! - General

[QUOTE=DogGunn;23400507]There was a 5.0 near Adeliade not to long ago, and a couple 3.5s in Melbourne (where I live). It's just so rare.[/QUOTE] Another Facepuncher in Melbourne? i think i'll just lock my doors now.

I still remember the 6.something or other in Washington in ~2000. I was in kindergarten under some tables and I remember the floor was rolling. Then we went home.

[QUOTE=DogGunn;23400800]I thought northern America is fairly earthquake prone?At least not as much as the Western side.[/QUOTE] No west coast is earthquake central

It's like the Canada Earthquake a few weeks ago. Except that one was a 5 rather then a 3.7

That's nothing, in England, we get earthquakes all the time, except they're like 1.2 on the richter scale

I think it's safe to say we all have another thing to blame on Obama.

Pft. I was born during the Landers earthquake. How could you even feel a 3.7 earthquake?

[QUOTE=coco911231;23400407]Ive never been in an earthquake :frown:[/QUOTE] I feel your pain :frown:

I wish I could've felt the earthquake. ): But I live like 100 miles south of DC so it would take a damn big quake to be felt down here.

[QUOTE=Master117;23400391]then a buddy in CA linked me a site with actually confirmed it. [/QUOTE] californians can detect earthquakes across the world it's in their blood you know

Shame. I want to know what it feels like to be in a 10 magnitude earthquake, but I've never been in an earthquake at all.

3.7? That's a baby fart.

Didn't feel anything and I only live a few miles south of DC. Of course, I was asleep at the time too. :smith:

We get 6's all the time in California. 3.7 is trashh.

[QUOTE=.Cheezy.;23401043]california representin'[/QUOTE] So how bout them annual forest fires?

pft, i live 15 mins away in VA and me and my crew been out skating all day we didnt even feel it

hahaha, some girls I know on facebook started an argument with me because they thought that the earthquake is getting an unfair amount of attention, with the argument "it didn't harm anything so it doesn't matter". They shut up when I explained plate tectonics to them. :\ I thought that was common knowledge.

it's hilarious how people are thinking that an earthquake where there hasn't been another in a few decades "isn't a big deal" because some structures could have potentially not been suited for an earthquake.

This is nothing, really. Come to California where 5.0s are commonplace. Also, we Californians are slated to have a huge earthquake-an 8.0 I believe. But people have been saying that for years, so....

Ah yes the earthquake. The one me and just about everybody I know slept through. I remember a while back we had one while I was in school and it shook the whole building. Compared to the west coast these seem like nothing, but in Maryland, they really are. Earthquakes are exceedingly rare here.

3.7? Is that thread worthy? Then I could make thousands and thousands of threads. :allears:

3.7 is really nothing, even in an area that barely gets quakes. Go experience a 6.0 or above, then its thread worthy.

[QUOTE=coco911231;23400407]Ive never been in an earthquake :frown:[/QUOTE] On last Christmas holiday, I was visiting my dad and there was a small quake 20 minutes after I left the town. I was pissed.

This is clearly the lord above bringing his wrath down upon the evil socialist government that has beset the united states.

[QUOTE=Inacio;23405063]I want to be in a 11 [editline]04:08PM[/editline] It's like a rodeo[/QUOTE] Not funny, my father died in a rodeo.

3.7? Psh. And also Bah. /Californian.

I'm in NC, kinda wish I could have felt that. [editline]06:49PM[/editline] I wonder if my cousin was there? He left to go back to NY this morning...

[QUOTE=DogGunn;23400443]3.7 is for babies. 5.0 in an area that never gets Earthquakes (Australia, we never get them) is for winners.[/QUOTE] 7.9 represent

I slept through it. Wasn't exiciting.

The funny thing is, we were going to take our vacation there, but at the last moment we decided to go to Chicago instead, so here I am, a happy, earthquake free man.
