[coolmanvette75]

Anyone else just feel that Earthquake???

[KirkEvil]

[Stevoone]

I'm in Burlington City and we got it too. That was crazy

Only thing I can find online is a 5.8 that was centered somewhere in Virginia

[Blackbirdws6]

4th floor here....not budging from my desk. Felt pretty odd and its the first one I've ever been in. Reports say it was from Virginia.

[wrong generation]

that was weird as hell. working on the car next thing i know its shaking and the truck next to me is shaking. my little sis is now facebooking that she lived thru an earthquake lol.

[Blacdout96]

Felt it down here in the south. Ran out the door at my work like no tomorrow.

[WayFast84]

I'm at my grandparents visiting and they have no clue anything happened..we are watching news12 and this reporter is frothing from the mouth. She's about to melt down. Gotta watch this.

[BonzoHansen]

I'm in the towers in east brunswick. They made us evacuate. So now I'm outside surfing. The building swayed it was kind of funky

[LS1ow]

5.9 centered in Central VA.

I was in the gym in the other building and all of us in there didn't feel a thing. I walked out and everybody was outside on the phone and I had no idea why.

[WS6_CAIT]

I was at a restaurant and everything was shaking and everyone was looking around all confused. Then i came back to work and the building was evacuated... I have a headache from it now!

[band77one]

i was about to go wash the iroc. i think its a sign i shouldnt go near it today.

[Jersey Mike]

Exactly what time did this happen? I didn't feel a damn thing, so I'm wondering why that is.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

~2pm

[NJ346]

It woke me up. For a second i thought my house was going to collapse.

[LS1ow]

It woke me up. For a second i thought my house was going to collapse.

[//<86TA>\\]

didnt feel anything

[MarshallWS6]

Thought the guys on the desk next to me were shaking things, and then thought something fell into the wall next door.

Was pretty cool.

[Tru2Chevy]

Here's the USGS info on it: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/se082311a.html

I was outside taking apart the Jeep, never felt a thing :shrug:

[deadtrend1]

I was standing in the shop at work next to one of our bigger boom trucks. It started shaking like someone was jumping on the back corner and I thought to myself "theres no way someone can make it shake that bad!"

So I walked around the truck, no one was there and it kept swaying for a few more seconds. I thought it was kinda cool.

[Lt1_8U]

i was working on the skid steer at work and my boos comes back from writing an estimate and was asking me if i felt any shaking lol i didnt feel anything in haledon:-?

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Pretty sure everyone in NJ felt it...some felt it up in Canada...I sure did, pretty scary sheet

[BullittSVT]

I was cruising around in a Golf cart.. didn't feel a thing but I looked at all these crazy people in the street on their phones doing weird **** and then some guy was like, DID YOU FEEL THAT EARTH QUAKE? Crazy yo

[redsoxsstink]

never felt a thing, my mom called and asked if i felt anything and i was like your crazy. no one in my town felt it, yet down the road at the mall people were buggin out

[zraffz]

Myself and the guys at the garage didn't feel anything. We all got texts saying their was an earthquake and thought we were being f*cked with. I was eating a late lunch... down the road people were saying it was shaking the floor.

[sweetbmxrider]

The truck i was working on started rocking, I thought at first it was the misfire but then realized it was off. Second one I have known I was in. I was worried it hit out in the ocean and we were all going to get real wet.

Props to the cell towers not keeping up with call service :|

Oh and shame on bigpal for not knowing exactly what was going on as it was going on.

[ar0ck]

Yeah, yeah well no I was in my kitchen,
and i heard it so i came out. You were in your living room?
I was in my kitchen cleaning a dish. I heard it, I came out.
What you were in you're basement? He was in his living,
I was in the kitchen cleaning a dish, I was really cleaning,
and I heard it so i came out. What? Shoes? No, no, **** shoes!

I laughed very hard.

[02v8ta]

^^^ reposted on my facebook haha. But I work at staples and the door started shaking then the building and everyone was just like uhhh is that an earthquake? I don't think anyone had the thought to leave though if the building was falling.

[NastyEllEssWon]

haha people really are funny. ive felt plenty in california so to feel one in jersey just reminded me of california....sans the entire neighborhood in their front yards clinging to dear life :D

[sweetbmxrider]

How did you get so awesome?

[greenformula92]

that was crazy, i felt on fort dix, sitting at a table outside have a smoke with 4 other guys and im like why the hell am i shaking so i look to see if anyone was shaking my chair and the person that i thought it was was doing the same thing lol, and then i heard the racks on the rack truck i had yesterday clanking back and forth, it was a little scary for a minute, but a cool experience, the worst part was no or slow cell service for about 20 minutes

[BigAls87Z28]

Yeah, I was in a hot tub when my parents and my brother started to freak out on the 2nd floor porch at this beach house in LBI. I said "nope, just relaxing in the water...what happened?"
It wasn't till about 45 mins later that I picked up my phone and saw the crazyness on facebook.
It was felt all the way in Detroit too, got texts from people asking if I was ok? I took picture of said hot tub, reported an all clear.

That's freaking great.

I was making lunch and noticed some dishes on top of the fridge moving a little, went out to the living room and the TV was swaying back & forth...because they were ripping up the asphalt about 2 blocks from my house I thought maybe that thing came through the neighborhood or something...even joking said to my daughter "it was an earthquake" when she asked me "WTH was that?"

Wasn't until 20 mins later when my wife walked through the door asking if we "felt the earthquake" that I even knew thats what it was lol

[JL8Jeff]

Felt it on LBI

-Brandon

I thought it was a construction truck coming down the road until I noticed the house was swaying a good 4-6". I was sitting on the deck outside and we got some serious movement on LBI. I can definitely say that the little old lady that owns the house won't want to ride out a hurricane in that place, it might not be standing next week! :shock:

[WS6_CAIT]

first an earthquake now a hurricane... the world is ending

[JL8Jeff]

first an earthquake now a hurricane... the world is ending
