I ran to doorway and coworkers thought I was crazy.

LOL

and you said goodbye to me all dramatic like on chat.

I was under the lift doing an oil change and was thinking why the frack is the car shaking up there and ran out of the garage. Now I know, and nothing fell/collapsed. Yay!

I'm too young to die on the 7th floor.

here i am speeding away, why they all stand around.

Did the decorative crystal dildo fall off of your bookcase at work?

I'm in Columbus, OH and my office building just swayed back and forth for a little bit.

Scared the shit outta me....

not sure, i ran to doorway and screamed earthquake, everyone stared at me. i was shaking, went to rick for comfort, then ran down 7 flights of stairs out to my car.

LMAO!

Anyway, a 5.9 earthquake on the east coast seems pretty unusual.

Saw reports on another board that it threw pictures off the wall and broke windows...wow

Not suprised @ Scott. This was probably him, but scearming earthquake.

Lol^^^

Yeah, that's true. They usually don't make the news around here unless they're a bit more dramatic. The Easter Quake of 2010 was a 7.2, and remember that it's a logarithmic scale, so that's about 90x as powerful as a 5.9.

It broke a few windows, and one guy got hurt when a sign fell on him. They also had to close one terminal of the airport for about 10 minutes.

7-8 quakes are actually kind of cool. If you've never experienced a really good one, you're missing out. Sometimes, if you're standing outside in an open area (eg: near the top of a peak looking over a flat area) you can actually see the surface of the earth ripple like waves in a pond.

LOL
Minor quakes, in California standards, are major events on the east coast.
2 things to take note of though.
(1) The ground here (as in east coast) is HARD and dense, and as such and transmits well.
(2) Earthquake isn't much of a concern, so buildings and structures are not engineered with earthquake safety in mind.

That would be cool, id like to see that sometime.

I'm in south jersey and we got hit decently. My monitor connections ripped out of my tower. I'm a 25 year old working in an office full of middle aged women. I have so many claw marks on me and I think I got a half attempt at an hj. A+
