Dude, MJF made me LOSE it!!

EQ's are kinda cool. The east coast canb handle it. Probably a nuke accidentally went off stored underground.

Apparently the way the plates underground are positioned, you'll get more of a sway effect than jolty shakes. We get the jolty shakes.

Welcome to the jungle :wavey:

The wife's grandparents in Trinidad got woken up at midnight by the CO earthquake. Biggest earthquake in CO in 40 years. Didn't even know we could get something as large as a (small) 5.3 out here.

Coming from someone who grew up in IL, I find this hilarious.

i was at work, thought someone was shaking the desk until my supervisor yelled out "why are we moving?!".

three other geico offices on the east coast were evacuated, not ours though :squint:

it only lasted a couple seconds, not the first time i've felt it on the east coast. i missed the last one, i was driving. my girlfriend missed this one, she was sleeping.
