ice1972 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I really don't understand how I didn't feel ANYTHING at all, when people all around me felt what sounds like pretty violent, noticeable shaking. Seriously it wasn't violent shaking......here in Cheshire I think the only reason I felt it was I was sitting calmly eating a sandwich totally still.....my friend standing not 10 feet away felt nothing.....up here it was probably the equivalent of a 2.0.......about the threshold for feeling it....

Cold Miser Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The earthquake was reported just before 2 p.m. near Mineral, Virginia, or about 87 miles from Washington, D.C. I'm guessing that the damage in this town of 424 people was rather minimal. I felt zip here in Woodstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adk Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Office in downtown BTV was rolling.

DeVries Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Jeez, within a week of moving out west a fairly strong earthquake hits the east coast and now a hurricane may hit NE early next week? Well, I've experienced both before. It was funny talking with my dad out in WMass at the time of the quake. He was in a parked car and started complaining that the car was moving around. After looking around and failing to see someone or something pushing the car, he started badmouthing the car for being junk. On another note, I've wondered for a long time why meteorologists apparently feel that earthquakes fall within their domain. Every time an earthquake happens, news programs go to a met for explanation. Ok, maybe that's not totally their fault, but the Weather Channel going back many years would do late night west coast/Alaska earthquake reports.
