Earthquake on the East Coast

[Nemesis]

5.8 originating in Virginia and could be felt up in New England.

 

Hope everyone's ok.

 

Had to evacuate and inspect several buildings gas & water meters here in Jersey. Im a member of a C.E.R.T. ( Community Emergency Response Team) for Monmouth County. We work with Homeland Security & Emergency Management in NJ.

 

So far this week, floods, earthquake, & a Hurricane this weekend, waiting for the locusts and deaths of every first born next.

I'm originally from California and I 'swear' that when I lived in Jersey 1998-2005 I once felt a small shimmer (being from Cali, I'm well briefed! ~ lol). Nobody believed me then. I think that EQ's from both areas are different: The WC ones have everything sort of 'sliding around, waving-swaying-type' of quake. I hear that the ones on EC are hard and firmly-felt ~ definitely more scary than any swaying-type if you ask me. But don't get me wrong, the ones in Cali that sway scares the shit of people too because what takes only 30 seconds or so seems like hours, especially if there are aftershocks.

 

All in All, I hope that everyone who felt the quake are ok and that nothing hidden (ex: structure damages and etc.) causes people problems later on...

LOL beat me to it. This is hilarious. I mean there's a ton of damage and haven't heard yet if any fatalities or anything like that, so it's not that funny but it is in a way.

No fatalities that I heard of, but some property damage. One of the buildings I inspected has a cement awning that dropped 3", but it's being shored up now. We have a possible hurricane to get ready for now. Testing our generators, mud suckers, & etc. just in case.

Rumor has it that the EQ in DC was caused by the founding fathers rolling over in their graves.

Joke I've been getting all day. Email, text, FB.

funnier one was the democrats said it was a 3.8, the republicans said it was a 5.8 and Obama comprimised.
