Yeah that shits scary. Had one here in vermont recently and it scared the piss out of me. I can't even imagine being at the epicenter of a earthquake above 5 points.
Well gents I'm staying down town DC NW area, We have a few guys staying where it hit, they didn't even know there was one .... I didn't feel a thing, (But I did wake up on the floor) this morning.....I just though it was to much drink .........:nodlaugh:
Okay...to be fair...I geologist once told me that small earthquakes feel worse out East because the soil/substrate is so packed and rigid that the ground "rings like a bell." Glad everything is okay there.
