I felt it! I started rocking back and forth in my chair - just the slightest bit, mind you - and I thought nothing of it. I do that sometimes when I'm high. But it was weird because I couldn't stop it when I tried. A couple minutes later, somebody called me and said we just had an earthquake. It was no big thing; I just never felt one before. It was actually kinda cool. I just hope there are none of those frickin' tsunamis over the next couple days.

By the way, where the hell is Kevin?

I felt the quake too.

I was sitting on my couch and it began to shake and I thought that maybe the cat was tugging on it to make it shake, but the cat was nowhere around, and then I noticed the telephone receiver cord swaying back and forth, so I figured it had to be an earthquake!

My cousin called me from somewhere in Virginia and said she was driving down the road and thought she had a blowout.(flat tire)But,after she got out of the car it was still sort of bumpy. Then she thought she was having and acid flashback . She's ok though,just a little shook up

It hit my house too. It started shaking pretty hard, things fell down a bunch but nothing major.

Wasn't too bad of an earthquake. My aunt lives an hour from where the epicenter was and she only had some minor property damage.

Freaked me out though.

I heard someone call our week that started with a rare earthquake and is ending with a rare hurricane...Shake, Rattle and Blow!

I was at Great Adventure with my daughter and didn't feel a thing, but the park closed down all the rides for an hour or so. Thankfully, my daughter had ridden everything she wanted to ride already.
