I feel the earth move...

yeah i was at work when it happen.. its right by the airport so i feel planes vibrating the building all the time so i didnt pay it any mind when it 1st started

I was at a meeting in a 10th Floor conference room. Not an experience I would like to repeat. I can't believe people on the west coast go through this all the time.

Give me a hurricane any day!

i was at work when it happened as well. the whole building shook for 7 seconds and then it was over.

honestly, it didn't scare me, i was more in shock because this was the first earthquake i've experienced.

it was actually pretty cool though, simply because nothing exciting EVER happens in virginia

I lived in So Cal for 45 years and 2 years in Japan. I think you east coast guys are a bunch of pussies. :)

LOL Shadow !! They had a short shaker and it's "run for the hills." They should try a roller that goes a minute or more.

When I've been in California, I've always wanted to feel a little shake. Nothing damaging, but just to get an idea of a quake.

I've never experienced a 'quake. Standing near the vibrator unit on a seismic shoot is the closest I have been to the experience.

It's nothing like 'those' kind of vibrators either.

Why what happened?

lol shadowcat.....I agree ;)

Yea one of my college buddy is station at Virginia and he was telling me about and it was his first time in a earthquake. As for myself I been in 4 earthquakes in California. The longest quake I been was over 20 seconds

"Give me a hurricane any day!"

Well, thanks, Clubber, now VA/DC is the path of Hurricane Irene. Sheesh!

steve - No big deal. The strip clubs there are already a wash.
