Trust me, I felt it. Happened only a few minutes ago. Where I was, it wasn't strong enough to do any damage and it only lasted about 5 seconds, but it scared the heck out of me. The center of the earthquake was in Louisa.

And frighteningly, there happens to be a nuclear power plant on lake Anna which is right near there. Lips Sealed

I hope no one was hurt. Apparently The earthquake was in Virginia and shook all the way 'till New York.
This is really scary. This must be one of the worst years of Natural disasters Sad

Its mother nature, its normal calm down

all the news (USA News) are just talking about the shake ,I'm missing the soap opera of some criminal that shut down a long time ago a 747 of pan am then said "I'm sorry" that a lot of people are looking to nail him ,I'm missing it,I was really enjoying it Smiley

We felt some minor shaking in my part of Ontario. Lasted about 25 seconds, I had just stood up from the dentist chair after having two teeth yanked out and I thought it was just me. If I could trust the media I would guess it took about 8 or 9 minutes to reach us from the epicenter.

Got a good scare, as i was home, on the top floor of the building I'd least like to be inside during an earthquake (100-yr-old 4-story brick and wood factory, with a 70-foot brick smokestack in the back yard). This place routinely gets shaken by passing trucks and trains, but not like that!! Scary.
It kept wobbling for a few minutes afterwards. No new cracks anywhere... that I can see, anyway. I might go out for a while, just in case we get another one... Sad

Yup, felt it here in southern NH. Just a tiny vibration though.

Friends in an office building in Burlington, Vermont said that the place sustained some cracked molding there!!!!! Swinging lights, papers and stuff falling, and stuff like that.

I may have felt the quake here in central NH not knowing it was the quake. I'm not far from the lake and probably the edge of the big rock slab I'm on is under the roadway; every time a heavy vehicle goes by this place is really shaken.

It was stinking weird! I was upstairs in my house and it just shook! Crazy!
Us easterners aren't very used to them...
Sure its already been pointed out, but it originated in Mineral, VA.

Its only the landing phase in a plane crash that hurts...

I have and still am living through the 3 Christchurch earthquakes, those photos linked there are by no means devastation. And I know from personal experience Cry

Devastation is when your entire city is shut for 6 months and counting, when 180 people lost their lives, 6,000 homes have to be demolished, with still more coming, half the city was surrounded in crap, when you don't bother getting off the couch for anything under a 5.3, when you can accurately guess the magnitude of the aftershocks by the noise they make before they hit, when I've spent as much time over the last year shoveling sand mixed with other peoples poo than I have doing all of my hobbies put together, and after all this, even the people of Christchurch, a city of only 300,000, still don't believe they've been devastated.

yes, but there's a diffrence between the types of earthquakes that happen in the west and the ones that happen in the east. In the west, they are much more common, and maybe stronger, but they have their area of effect and range. But here in the east coast, the soil is much diffrent. diffrent in the matter that it both makes the earthquake not only go for thousands of miles, but also increases the earthquake's effect and effect at long range. And also, the qauke that happened here was at about 1/2 a mile under the surface I heard. And not to mention that you westerners are used to them, we on the east end are by NO MEANS used to it in any way, shape, or form. Tongue

So put basically, from what I've figured is this:
West Quakes: Often, with probably normal-minimal damage. normal ranging. minimal-no damage at range.

East Quakes: Extremely rare, more damaging, extreme ranging, continued and possibly amplified effect at range.

Earthquake Details
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/se082311a.php
Magnitude 5.8
Date-Time Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 17:51:04 UTC
Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 01:51:04 PM at epicenter

Location 37.936°N, 77.933°W
Depth 6 km (3.7 miles)
Region VIRGINIA
Distances
8 km (5 miles) SSW (195°) from Mineral, VA
11 km (7 miles) SSE (148°) from Louisa, VA
29 km (18 miles) NE (45°) from Columbia, VA
35 km (22 miles) E (87°) from Lake Monticello, VA
61 km (38 miles) NW (317°) from Richmond, VA
135 km (84 miles) SW (217°) from Washington, DC

Location Uncertainty horizontal +/- 2.3 km (1.4 miles); depth +/- 3.1 km (1.9 miles

Despite it's small size in comparison to California quakes, it effected 22 states on the east coast due to the tectonic plate being one large solid plate as opposed to a plate that has multiple fractures.

If anyone is interested as of today; here's the list of after shocks-

3.4 2011/08/24 04:45:26 37.925 -77.994 4.9 11 km ( 7 mi) S of Louisa, VA

4.2 2011/08/24 00:04:36 37.912 -77.951 7.9 11 km ( 7 mi) SSW of Mineral, VA

2.2 2011/08/23 19:20:26 37.911 -78.004 0.1 13 km ( 8 mi) S of Louisa, VA

2.8 2011/08/23 18:46:50 37.931 -77.935 0.1 9 km ( 5 mi) SSW of Mineral, VA

Beginning quake-

5.8 2011/08/23 17:51:04

37.936 -77.933 6.0 8 km ( 5 mi) SSW of Mineral, VA

Now we get to deal with a hurricane.... Roll Eyes

You know, you would think that the country would think about the old saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket". There are so many monuments up there around only the DC area alone. The white house, the pentagon, the washington monument, and more. Any more qaukes and they could all be gone. Tongue

Patchz is correct. By no means was I being serious...I was making fun of some people who were severely overreacting to the quake. Yesterday's earthquake can't even be compared to some of the ones you've experienced in NZ. But you have to admit...there must be billions of dollars lost due to the workforce having to spend extra time straightening picture frames in their houses. Cheesy

lets have a vote for the most dangerous weather disaster.

i think supervolcano.
if the next time yellowstone eruption is a supereruption(wich is actualy relatively likely,since it is bigger then usual and there is a massive gas buildup inside yellowstone)
lets see what would happen.
a massive hole will be present in america due to the volcano,it would cause pyroclstic storms(massive avalanches made of rock and lava),the world will be covered in ash for the next ten to a hundred years blocking the sunlight,a massive earthquake that could cause massive tsunamis and tilt pictureframes.

and that is just yellowstone,there are some massive ones like in callifornia that are not likely to erupt in a long time.

in sumatra there is a lake that is also a supervolcano and it is 100 kilometres long and 30 kilometres wide.
It is believed to have caused the largest explosive eruption anywhere on Earth in the last 25 million years.

it could erupt tommorow or in a thousend years,you just dont know,and i think it will be in the news if that happens.

Yes and also the volcanic activity will boil all the water within range and if not poison it with dangerous gasses making it impossible to drink. Since it would wipe out most the trees making no oxygen will be created suffocating all life on Earth making no food for humans and then cockroaches will take over the earth and Slowly evolve into a new, Dominant species. If you don't believe that. I'm sure Dinosaurs said that about Didelphodon. (what might have been our really early ancestors).
Sorry I love Science & Nature. Cheesy

But I'm not yet that used to it so if there are holes please correct me. Wink

I don't think so... by the demeanor, I'd say their descendants are among us, now look like us and interact with us -- but they're a different species. Many of them go into politics where they still squabble over who owns the bone.
