For anyone that hasn't had the "pleasure" of feeling an earthquake before... you know when those military choppers fly over your house about a mile up in the sky and everything rattles a little bit? Now pretend they are sitting in the middle of your living room. This. It took me about 1sec to figure out that it wasn't a helicopter flying really low over my building.

This is the second one in like the past year or something in the DC area. According to an article in the Washington Post (trying to get the link, but the site seems overloaded right now), quakes on the east coast have a tendency to be felt much further away than ones on the west coast. EDIT: From USA Today: In "the East Coast you have this old hard, cold crust that does a lovely job of transmitting the waves," says Lucy Jones, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. "This large of an earthquake …. could definitely have been felt hundreds of miles away." | ||
