  1. I don't know if this thread makes me 1.) Happy to look back and remember the good times or 2.) Depressed to look back and then look at the crappy pattern we're in and realize we aren't going to be seeing anything like this (much less anything even 1/3 as good as this) anytime soon. I'm think I'll go with #2.
  2. Definitely, especially in today's times with everyones mind on possible attacks. I honestly can't imagine what I would have done had I been in public...probably just ran outside. I'm sure I'd be just as fascinated by quakes if I had your experiences. Also interesting to hear you describe today's quake in the way that you have -- certainly different from some snobby Californians who don't realize how earthquakes impact different areas, well, differently. It's like a Mid Atlantic or NE weenie making fun of someone who lives in Dallas over the city's reaction to a few inches of snow...
  3. Not sure what would be scarier for most -- it happening when it did around 1:50 in the afternoon when people are at work/in public, or it happening overnight/early morning when people are sleeping (like last years). Last July's was much, much, much weaker, but I was almost just as scared because being awoken by your house shaking at 5:30 in the morning is obviously terrifying. What do you guys think?
  4. Pretty cool to have experienced two once in a century (if not longer) events in the past two years in winter 09-10 and this earthquake.
  5. I'm curious who it was too. They usually either have Doug Hill or Bob Ryan give the forecast during the evening rush, but I can't imagine it was one of them. And yeah, they use WJLA mets.
  6. In that case, Fauquier County should just cancel the entire school year.
  7. I thought you were joking at first.
  8. We get it -- you use to live in California.
  9. We've had more earthquakes in the past year than we have 4"+ snowstorms
  10. A few days before Feb 5th, one of my teachers told us that there could be a 2nd storm the week after, .and that she found out by watching a "very funny weather guy on accuweather." Five minutes later Henry Margusity's long range outlook video was on the projector.
