« on: August 23, 2011, 01:22:19 PM »
Just heard on the news of a 5+ magnitude earthquake in the Washington DC area.

Hope everyone is OK.

Also looks like the current hurricane could get up that way also.

5+ is nothing...

Ain't that the truth, did my first 5+ in kindergarten.  Everybody here is wondering what the hell is going on. Reports of damage but no injuries or the actual extent of damage.  Felt like somebody bouncing on the floors or a helo hovering overhead briefly but lasted to long (about 5-10 seconds).  The two local bridges are reported closed but other reports show at least one open.

It wasn't near DC, actually between Richmond and Fredricksburg.

I won't say what I really want to say about an earthquake in DC.  Besides, all the self importants are on vacation.

Yeah, all the people who need to be replaced were on vacation. Missed another chance.
