The center of the earthquake was in Mineral,Virginia. That's in the next county above where I am in Virginia.

I will never forget this event. I just felt the second aftershock. BF

Dear Friend,
Thank goodness you are alright. I thought about you when I heard it was centered in your area. Thanks for checking in to let us know that you are safe.

Thank you that is very helpful Jo

i think it is the Virginia quake they must have felt up in NYC... but all i saw pix of was NYC... they said they had to evacuate some buildings etc... this is an international correspondent who had to be evacuated too... i might have missed the beginning when they said Virginia epicenter or our news got it screwed up.

STEVE i'm glad you are OK!!!!

I'd still like to hear from Bobby ASAP and I know Sharla isn't around often so i will assume optimistically if she doesn't pop up right away...

sigh... i nearly flipped. the reporter was saying the streets were undulating!!! IN NEW YORK! that's SOME aftershock!!!! are you guys getting any of this same "version" or is this reporter maybe exaggerating?

Brokenfriend I thought if you right away because it was so close.
Said it was 2.1 in NY. The 6.0 was the same strength as the one in Haiti a year ago.

I was sitting in the recliner thinking the fat cat was pushing from under it to make me rock. I called at him to knock it off, leaned over and looked....no cat. Then I saw him sitting nearby like "wasn't me!"

I heard from a friend in NY that was on the 42nd floor swaying. They were thinking 911 not earthquake. So much fear of the events 10 years ago.

MSNBC interviewed a Penn State geologist and he stated that the east coast is old packed rock and dirt. That the energy could dispurs over a larger area.
I will take a bit of swaying to keep BF safe any day.....
Hope there are no strong aftershocks.

It was really scary for my d-i-l, who was home, in our house. She saw the water in the pool next door spilling out on either side! My puppy was hiding under the bed, and would not come out.

Me? I was in Sears, shopping for bras, and didn't feel it, neither did a lady only a few feet from me, but the salesclerk at the register felt it, said the signs were swaying back and forth. I'm home now, wondering about aftershocks! I am supposed to go visit my DH in his new hospital, which is about 1/2 hour away!

It was a strange day all around! We saw a snake in our backyard this morning - wonder if it knew it was coming? They say animals can predict stuff like this!?

I was standing in the kitchen,and everything started to move back,and forth. I didn't hear much of a roar,or anything. I really didn't know what was happening at first. Then It kept going on shaking. I realized that it must be a earthquake.

I just found that a clock came off of the wall behind my computer. I think that I mentioned that a fan came off my stand where I do my laundry.

They are saying on the local news that the center of the earthquake was now south west of Mineral. I'm toward the southwest of Mineral,so it was closer to me then First expected.

The Walmart that I shop at had drinks,and foods in the shopping Isles. The local news has been continuously broadcasting reports of what happened around here. BF
