Just Had an Earthquake!!!!!

wetpet · 08-23-2011, 09:54 AM

It was awesome! My whole house was shaking! never been in one before!

Steve2z · 08-23-2011, 10:17 AM

Glad to hear you are alright- earthquake, and Irene is coming soon!

360 Modena · 08-23-2011, 10:20 AM

Ed, that was your commode backing up.

We felt it here too and it caused a mini-tsunami in the pool.

It was between 5.8 and 6.0 -- pretty significant for this region.

Next up is Hurricane Irene on Sunday followed by forest fires and mudslides.

And a flood of Mexican immigrants.

Dear Ed,

I was about to ask you "What's shaking?" but it was only the house. Magnitude 5.9.

Only a couple of things fell off shelves.

Car is still on jack stands and is OK.

Bes regards,

Robert

Thankfully no, but an open beer did fall from the table. I couldn't post that picture as it was too emotional for me.

If it needs to be said... I'm hoping nobody has experienced any real damage. That would truly make my teasing a little over the top.

I agree ...

5.9 quakes are no laughing matter - I hope no one's crack expanded

Felt just like when I overload the frontloader washing machine with too many towels and the damn thing dances around!

barcheta · 08-23-2011, 03:05 PM

Actually.... Tysons Corner had a little bit of drama this afternoon. And the folks at the Pentagon didn't like it either

It's kinda like a good woman ... you toss your dirty junk in ... it gets swirled around followed by a wet rinse and spin cycle.
