WidreMann Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Noticed it here. I thought there was a heavy truck driving nearby or some sort of construction, but there was none. Nothing was really swaying, but it did kind of feel like the house was about to collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landof2rivers Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I felt it here in Eden. It was longer and stronger here than what I felt when Richmond had an earthquake several years ago. My pictures were moving, the TV cabinet and TV were shaking, and my dog started barking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poptones Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 neat feeling here in Raleigh, but the bigger disruption came from the cognitive dissonance that was triggered after realizing my lovely dog is terrified of distant thunder but not fazed one bit by an actual earthquake.

Nothing was really swaying, but it did kind of feel like the house was about to collapse. Same thing I thought at first, big truck riding by, then for about 10 secs it was nope that's no truck, now saying up to 6.0 which is huge for east coast.

Yeah, have not felt that since living in CA back during the MC days... Felt like two distinct tremors, about 20 seconds apart. First one took note as the pictures and mirror rattled, stopped, then I stood up and felt it underneath my feet, house was rattling a good bit, and you could here a low rumble outside. First thought was blasting at the quarry in Fountain, but wife was like that was an earthquake. Hopefully this is enough to throw our system back west!

LithiaWx Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Did not feel it in Atlanta, GA but there are people saying it was felt in the metro.... Very odd strong quake for this region of the country. 5.9 official, FOX news reporting 6.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
