SDS Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 SDS is still wimpering under his desk at his office. You ain't kidding. I'm at the very bottom of DC on the 3rd floor. That shook the crap out of my building. Stuff fell off the shelves in labs, my desk was rolling like a sine wave. My heart is still racing.

Peace Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 My office on the 18th floor was moving and hopping pretty good. I was trying to see how local it was and the guys I could best see out the window are demolishing the building next door with a dozer-mounted jackhammer. They didn't seem to notice. My office is in a panic of stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Just felt it on the 31st floor of an office building in lower Manhattan. If I was out last night, I'd have sworn I was drinking. Wow..if thats a 5.8 I really have no desire to feel anything more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#89 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I don't understand why I felt it yet the guy in the same room next to me didn't and neither did the 3 working outside my door.

GG Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Just felt it on the 31st floor of an office building in lower Manhattan. If I was out last night, I'd have sworn I was drinking. Wow..if thats a 5.8 I really have no desire to feel anything more. Same here. PS - if people are going to evacuate skyscrapers in an earthquake, the worst possible place for them to congregate is at the foot of that skyscraper... At least some building managers are smart enough to get people off the sidewalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I was sitting at my computer & my house started shaking. At first I didn't know if it was me or if it was an earthquake. It took about 5 minutes later for me to hear anything about it on the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 6km underground And the website I got that from isn't online anymore, probably crashed from too much traffic or exceeded their quota quakes.globalincidentmap.com Go to USGS directly. They had to evacuate my company's offices in Stafford, VA, because of damage to the building. And apparently they've evacuated Capitol Hill and the Pentagon (because maybe it's a terrorist event... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
