Earthquake
 
Felt it here in NYC, pretty strong. At first I thought the building where I work in was the only thing shaking, ran for the hills :rofl:
How is everyone else?

Cell phones are useless!!!

I hope everyone's ok

From what I've been hearing from my friends in northern VA it was strong, but not enough to cause damage. Just stuff falling off the shelves/walls and water sloshing around in the swimming pools. I guess the only real danger was getting hit on the head by a falling object. Still, hope everyone is OK.

My wife just told me about it. Hope eveyone is safe. We're getting some pretty high winds with thunder showers right now, but so far the ground is staying put, happily.

Hope everyone is o.k. Did read about it on facebook.

Hope everyone is safe!

News I've seen was some damage in the worst areas, but mostly stuff thrown around. One friend said he hadn't felt it at work but stuff at home was fallen over and off shelves.

To me, earthquakes are the scariest of mother natures children because they are so unpredictable. Who would have thought there would be one in Virginia?

Right now in parts of Ontario, we are under a tornado watch. The sky turned pitch black just before 8pm and then the rain fell hard. The thunder and lightning has not let up yet.

What's with mother nature lately? Pretty scary!
