The last time my building shook this much the one next to it had fallen down...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
Capitol building and Pentagon evacuated - as a precaution.
Felt it here around mid-michigan. Thought I was having a 'spell' until I heard the report on WGN TV. Must have been a deep one.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
That's surprising.
A poster on another forum reports feeling it in Cincinnati.

Glad you're OK.

I was in LA about 2 weeks after their "Big One" in 1994 and aftershocks were hitting a couple of times a day. This was worse...I thought someone was fucking with my chair...

We don't even notice them, unless they get up to around 7. Has the tsunami hit hObama's palace in Martha's Vineyard yet?
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
This one was land based...

That's not too far from me. I have restless leg syndrome and didn't feel anything but my own bouncing foot. I'll hear more from the locals later this afternoon.
Badeye?
__________________________________________________________________________________________ about 10-15 seconds of shaking out here about 30 miles west of D.C. The region is panicking as you can imagine.

epicenter was mineral, va, it was about 3.7 miles down.

Same here...I haven't seen this many people down in the streets since THAT day...

Link to USGS for reporting what you felt (re earthquake, of course). http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi/

They're already heard enough conspiracy theories about how the Tea Party caused it.

A nuclear power plant located in Louisa County, the epicenter of the earthquake in Virginia, has shut down. The North Anna Power Station, operated by Dominion Power, has two reactors. The plant declared an "unusual event" in the wake of the 5.9 magnitude quake, which is the lowest stage on the plant's emergency scale. As a result, the plant has been shut down. www.nbcwashington.com/new...Shuts-Down-128261808.html The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission has ranked the earthquake damage risk at all 104 nuclear power plants in this country. The pair operated by Dominion Power, at Lake Anna in eastern Louisa County, come in at 7th most 'at risk' on the list. According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, North Anna 1 and 2 face an annual 1 in 22,727 chance of the core being damaged by an earthquake and exposing the public to radiation. The national average for U.S. nuclear plants is a 1 in 74,000 chance. The top five most at-risk plants are all on the east coast: Indian Point, north of New York City; the Pilgrim Plant south of Boston, Limerick outside of Philadelphia, the Sequoyah plants near Chattanooga Tennessee and Beaver Valley near Pittsburgh. These five plants are at a higher statistical risk than those along fault lines in California, for example, because they were not designed for and built in presumed strong quake danger areas. Since they were constructed the federal government has revised upwards the quake risks where they are. According to Jim Norvelle with Dominion Power, North Anna was designed to withstand a magnitude 5.9 – 6.1 earthquake. Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
That's spooky.
Meanwhile, the strongest earthquake to strike Colorado in more than 40 years shook awake hundreds of people, toppled groceries off shelves and caused minor damage to homes in the southern part of the state and in northern New Mexico. No injuries were reported as aftershocks continued Tuesday. "Here we go again, there's another one starting. We got to get out of here," said Garry Ringo, owner of Ringo's Super Trading Post in the small town of Segundo, Colo., as bottles on shelves rattled in the background during an interview with The Associated Press. Ringo estimated he lost thousands of dollars' worth of liquor and soda. The magnitude 5.3 quake hit at 11:46 p.m. MDT Monday about nine miles southwest of Trinidad, or 180 miles south of Denver, according to the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center in Golden. It had an estimated depth of 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) and was felt in a relatively large area of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. Las Animas County Sheriff Jim Casias said Colorado authorities were assessing damage and so far had reported a porch collapse and a partially collapsed roof. No injuries had been reported, he said. [...] Ron Thompson, mine manager with New Elk Mine about 30 miles west of Trinidad, said coal miners 300 to 800 feet underground didn't feel anything but crews above ground and at the company office in Trinidad, where he was at the time, did. "Not real exciting, but it got your attention," he said of the shallow quake. The quake was the largest in Colorado since a magnitude-5.3 temblor was recorded in Denver's northern suburbs in 1967, said Paul Earle of the USGS. The coal mine survived hObama's earthquake. The Magic Marxist must be very sad.

I am going to see if freepers think this is a sign from God just for the lulz. Even better crazy talk: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2767906/posts Hmmmmm...underground nuke? Does washington even have a fault zone? I truly believe GOD is warning us as a nation. He may have just about had enough. 102 posted on August 23, 2011 2:04:10 PM EDT by Marathoner 4 posted on August 23, 2011 1:56:19 PM EDT by penelopesire
With the economy still in the dumper -- maybe permanently? -- and full-time jobs becoming as scarce as rain during a drought, huge percentages of Americans have had their (misplaced) faith in the American dream shaken, the upper-middle-class consumerist lifestyle is exposed as a mirage for anybody who plays by the rules. Capitalism and the America that embraced it as a way of life is now and forever more a failure. It does me good to know that the generation that voted in Reagan and his ideology will see their America die from that ideology before their very own eyes and knowing they had a hand in its destruction.
I'm sitting in Pittsburgh, and I felt it... ~20 seconds...
The two sides in America are people who work for a living versus people who vote for their living.
Oh geezus...please don't tell me that you are a fellow "yinzer"...

I live in Kentucky, right here near the Virginia and Tennessee borders, and not one blade of grass has stirred today.
We have someone here like you...he felt nothing. PS: He drinks his lunch.

Felt it in Olean for about 15 seconds.

Nurse Ratched wasted no time in declaring why the quake occurred.

BREAKING NEWS: President Obama has just confirmed that the DC earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure fault-line, apparently known as "Bush's Fault". Obama also announced that the Secret Service and Maxine Waters continue an investigation of the quake's suspicious ties to the Tea Party. Conservatives however have proven that it was caused by the founding fathers rolling over in their graves.
Funny!
