Earthquake!

I just experienced my first earthquake here in Maryland! Frightening. Please tell me your experience today.

I didn't feel anything shake or move but for a brief few seconds I felt a bit dizzy. I have experienced dizziness as a result of an injury so I just thought that it was from that. But I haven't had any problems in many years. Then I saw on facebook that people were posting about the earthquake at about the time that I felt dizzy. So, I guess I did experience it.

It's strange I live in Pennsylvania and did not feel a thing. Maybe it was because I was outside walking?

Nothing up here. I heard that Detroit felt it. Did any of the southern Michigan Mafia feel anything?

I grew up in Southern California....learned to live with them.....

Sure does remind you how powerless we are as humans doesn't it???

hope you are all safe

Yes...are you all right, people? I'm happy we have no eartyhquakes in Buenos Aires. It's a very flat land. However, time to time, we feel some little shaking earth when there was a big eartquake at the Andes region. It's very far away, but some neighborhood could feel them....or at least is what they said.

I didn't feel the earthquake. I wanted to. (I know, I'm weird person.) I never experinces an earthquake before. I lived in Sterling Heights, Michigan. The time, it happen. I was at the movies with my mom. Maybe, if it was higher. I might have felt it.

i've never been threw a earthquake before

I didn't feel anything while I was out grocery shopping, but my husband says at work in Springfield, MA they felt a good shaking for 30 seconds or so. They actually evacuated some of the public buildings in the downtown area because of it.

I wish I could take credit for it, but it's just something I found online this morning.

I can't take credit for this either, but thought it was funny......

"Seismologist determined that the earthquake in DC was not caused by a fault line but from our founding fathers rolling over in their graves."

And of course, it is now called ........ Bush's Fault !

Thanks for the laugh. I need some cheering up.

We didn't feel anything, but some people in Atlanta did.

You're not weird....I wouldn't mind seeing what it feels like for once! Maybe that makes us both weird though.

Rumours are that the Washington Monument is now leaning...

Are you kidding...aren't you?

Vanesa.

They discovered a crack in one of the triangular faces at the top of the monument, but there's no truth to the rumor that it's leaning.

Here are some more stunning photos of the damage....
