Did anyone else feel that earthquake on the east coast today. I never felt one before and honestly thought something hit my house. I can't imagine what you cats in Cali put up with.

A buddy of mine in upstate NY said he felt something. it was a pretty good shake for a relatively inactive fault line.

Today I was in the mountains of upstate New York and we felt it. It wasn't much, but we felt it.

I heard that the reason for the earthquake was cause New York OK'd gays to get married,,, i just don't figure why it hit Virginia the most.

I was camming with Colombianas, so I figured it was God's wrath raining down on me when the closet door started shaking and the floor trembling! Then I look outside to see if anything was happening---nothing. So I figured it was an earthquake or pre-historic monster busting through the foundation--- neither of which I could do anything about, so I went back to whacking with Latinas (this was in NC, btw).

if it is not over a 6.0 it is not even worth getting up for. largest i have ever been in was a 7.3 that lasted about 2 min when i was 7 or 8 years old and i thought the world was going to end can not imagine the 9.1 in japan. tho i would take earthquakes over tornados and hurricanes anyday
