simultaneous_final User ID: 1458700 United States 08/23/2011 02:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Makes me nervous to go underground today in the coal mine. Pray nothing happens. Quoting: WV. Coal Miner God Bless. From one West Virginian to another-- You're in my prayers, brother. Aftershocks may continue. If you've got a shift tonight, just be aware that this may continue for a while. Nice to see another WVian here.

spacegoat User ID: 1514732 United States 08/23/2011 02:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I grew up in Virginia, but now live in New Mexico. My mom just called me a few minutes ago, freaking out about the earthquake. She lives in Richmond. Well, we just had that quake right on the NM/CO border last night. Kind of got the chills when I got my mom's message and she was talking about an earthquake in Richmond! And then I see on USGS that it's a 5.9. Feeling a little scared right now. |

Washington monument is tipping... Something is not adding up... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1132105 ^^^^This^^^^ The crust in the eastern United States is markedly more efficient at propagating seismic waves than in the western United States.This means that for the same magnitude earthquake, the one in the eastern U.S. will be felt much more widely than one in California. |

Hope_Full User ID: 1517024 United States 08/23/2011 02:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm in Norfolk, Virginia (near the airport) and our house (one-story ranch) shook hard. Saw several things on table tops rocking and rolling and thought they were going to topple. We have a new crack on our living ceiling. I'm told that they scrambled the fighters at our nearby navy bases. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 317023 United States 08/23/2011 02:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Felt it here in Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia....NNW of epicenter. I was at the kitchen peninsula counter and felt a slight rumbling in my body and then the dining room hanging light started swaying slightly as well as the two pendant lights at the counter where I was standing that shook for a few seconds. Pretty strange. First time for me. Must have been much stronger east of me. |
