    I guess not too many people realize there are fault lines all over the country......

    we get them here on the east coast, but never this BIG. usually a 3 is considered a "big one". so you know, we're wimps about it. LOL.

    guy in my office is from LA and he was like "eh, it's nothin'"

    There was a bigger one (I think about this same size, maybe a little bigger) in Quebec a few years ago. I lived in Buffalo then. I woke up and found a few things in my bedroom on the floor and thought it was strange. Then I turned on the radio and found out it was an earthquake. As usual, I slept through it.

    I was only ever awake for one when I lived up there.

    Felt it in Hartford, CT at about 2:01. I'm on the 10th floor so I didn't notice it too much. My husband works in a small powerplant and they were evaquating when he called to tell me about it (he's on the ground floor).

    I work in Frederick MD and it shook our building hard for a good 10 seconds! I don't have windows in my office and I actually thought it was a tornado at first.

    Yep, in King of Prussia, PA currently and we felt it. I was standing at my co-workers cube and I felt it shake. I thought he was kicking it under the desk but then I heard the ceiling tiles start to squeak. I ducked under my desk. Thank God I wore pants today.. that would NOT have been pretty in a skirt.

    =)
