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? Quoting: Zlyle14 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.
