[quote:Anonymous Coward 1107716:MV8xNjA4NTgwXzI2NTczNjQxXzg4RTI2NUVE] [quote:Zlyle14:MV8xNjA4NTgwXzI2NTczMjAzXzU4OTY5MTk=] When earthquakes hit areas like the east coast, they energy released travels a longer distance due to the plate structure. Areas that are closer to major fault lines will dissipate faster due to the faults. They are absorbed quickly, where as this one reverberated up the coast a very long distance due to the less fractured plate. The question is, was it natural or man made? :eq: [/quote] We have many quakes on the East coast, I don't feel any of them. We had three 3.0 last year 40 miles from me, I didn't feel anything. We had a 6.0 in Canada 170 miles from me last year, I felt nothing, now I am supposed to believe that a 5.8 in VA traveled 700 miles and gave me a 5.2? Aint happenin. Also, lasting 33 min.??, that ain't your typical "5.8". In fact, a 33min. EQ should be a 20.0 or something. 5.8s only last up to one (1) minute max. [/quote]

Q = Since when is a 5.9 picked up on seismographs all over the country and even outside the country?
A = Never
Q = Since when is a 5.9 Felt in up to 20 states?
A = Never. Not even a 9.0 is felt in that many states.
Q = Since when does a 5.9 last 33 minutes long?
A = Never
This was not a 5.9 EQ in Virginia. It was picked up the strongest there so that is where the software placed it. It looks to me the entire East coast moved, and probably upward. From Canada to Georgia. This means that yes, the West coast will probably move downward.
Pay attention to this. If this is true there will be more misleading and more EQs. Switch your natural gas lines over from solid to flex like (PLEX lines). Secure your important items in your work shop, desk, and food storage shelves. Convert glass jars from glass to plastic, etc.
Below are links to one of Yellostone's 20 or so seismograph stations. Its shows it was INTENSE and lasted 33 min.
