I was in my office in Western NC and felt it. My first earthquake so I was pretty excited!

I heard the Dems the Repubs were blaming each other because they sit on the "it's your fault line" that runs between the capital and the white house.

That was hilarious!

Welcome to the California experience, dude, er, Chris. Unless they are pretty big, you get used to them living out here. You keep locks on cabinets and use quake hold on fragile items on shelves. My first one was pretty exciting too. Having been through quite a few now, they aren't as freaky as they used to be. Hey, at least you had yours in daylight! Our big ones always seem to strike in the middle of the night. Just be aware that there could be aftershocks for weeks to come. But they are typically smaller and shorter duration.

Thanks Eric. I wasn't scared just fascinated. The powerlessness was wild!

the big deal about the east coast happening is that the quake was recorded as being shallow, in Cali and Oryg they are quite deep at over a mile or more. Mammoth in the Sierras just had a close to a 5 pt.

3 hours before ours Colorado had a 5.2

LMAO! Etched in my mind forever!

I grew up in SoCal, seemed a few small quakes every year and a real shaker every five years.
I suppose this was good training for the rocket and mortar fire in Iraq '03-04 which was training for the IED (2x 152mm rounds w remote detonation) that blew right after my vehicle passed by. Just like the VA quake, lotta shaking and noise but no damage

It's good thing no one was sitting in that chair or the results could have been deadly!

I never felt a thing even if folks further away did, I guess just to much beer

No such thing as too much beer.
