Earthquake In Washington Dc And Ny 5.9 Magnitude by omega25red(m): 7:36pm On Aug 23, 2011
we were all just chilling at work when the whole 12 story building started shaking. At first we thought it was construction because they just bombs to break the rocks for the new high rise they are building in the area. It wasn't until everyone started freaking out that we all understood what was going on. This is my first Earthquake and i must say it was scary. According to CNN it was felt from Virginia to New york city. anyway God protect us all

I was at walmart in Audubon, NJ when it happened (We got evacuated). At first, I thought someone was messing with the roof of the store until a few secs later, i felt the floor moving and stuff flying off the shelves. I lived in northern cali for years and never felt an earthquake, moved to NJ for school and boom, there's an earthquake. SMH

Not quite, it snows every year in the Grapevine though I am stretching a bit by using calling Grapevine and LA in the same geographical sentence. grin
