Crystal Remnants Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 [quote name='ArchmageCarn' timestamp='1314124140' post='5463841'] I'm on the East Coast. No one here even noticed it. [/quote] It hit between North Carolina up to New York. If you're outside that, or not all the way to the east, then you might not have felt it. I, however, live in Virginia. It wasn't bad really. Just some shaking of the house. No buildings were destroyed, which is surprising. It's more like a 4 then a 5.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm at Silver Spring. It really did felt like a 5.8 quake. Nothing bad happened to us really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetie Belle Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Dueling against my friend. Summon Malefic Paradox Dragon and used the summon chant for the lulz.

I'm lucky. Worst quakes in Ireland (lol) are like 1-2 on the scale. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Horus, no one really feels a 1-2, and there's over 100 of them a year in the UK. How far it's felt depends on its depth and the type of fault. Sometimes it does more damage further away than right above the epicentre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Moon Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 [size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Hey guys, if you're wondering if I survived. The answer's yes. It hit the college I was at, and my mom got everyone out just in time. ^^ But I was scared out of my f***ing mind. T_T[/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Chaos Sonic Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm glad to hear your alright Lauren. I knew somehow you were OK....though I was worrying anyway, since I remember your profile saying you lived in Virgina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Moon Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Yeah, it hit Fredricksburg and Charolettesville pretty hard. Including the college where I was. My mom got everyone out of the college safely. And the old middle school might've crumbled to the ground, but I'm not sure yet.[/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Metal Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I thought my house (in Crofton, MD) was being bulldozed haha. Nope, just an earthquake. Plus my work wouldn't let me work until an hour afterwards. So something good came out of it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
