Hoosier Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Looks like the depth was pretty shallow. I have to think there will be at least some damage reports. How populated is the area around the epicenter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually the second strongest earthquake shaking I've ever felt (first was when I was in Portland for Seattle's 6.8 earthquake). Sitting on my couch, felt it start shaking. Did a double-take thinking "I thought I just moved AWAY from earthquake country". The shaking actually got strong enough that I felt it while walking to my doorway.

How populated is the area around the epicenter? Not very, just small towns and farms. The closest "city" is Charlottesville, and then Richmond.

Midlo Snow Maker Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 i was at a stop light about 20 miles from the center and all of a sudden my truck just starts shaking like crazy. i looked to see if i was on a small bridge of some sort of overpass but nothing then the stop lights were jumping up and down and i knew what it was then, holy hell that was crazy biggest i have ever felt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It was actually strong enough that I left my building (mainly because I figured a brick apartment building in Pennsylvania wasn't built to withstand ANY kind of earthquake shaking), but that was probably silly. I'm back inside now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
