mark1447 Posted August 23, 2011 Share #12 Posted August 23, 2011 Didnt feel anything.... A rare earthquake rattled parts of New Jersey and New York several minutes ago, causing buildings to sway in cities, towns, streets and beaches across the region. The earthquake was also felt in Virginia and Washington, D.C., according to television news reports. There were no immediate reports of any injuries or structural damage, but the quake rattled nerves. Newark City Hall was evacuated shortly before 2 p.m., as the building was shaking. A Newark spokeswoman said her entire desk was shaking and her doors were moving for several minutes. The U.S. Geological Survey is reporting that a magnitude 5.9 earthquake was centered in central Virginia, and the Associated Press is reporting the quake was felt in Washington, New York City and North Carolina. In South Brunswick, police Sgt. James Ryan said the shaking brought staff out of their offices and immediately jammed the township’s emergency lines. "The 911 line is flooding with calls right now," Ryan said at 2 p.m. "People want to know what happened. They want to know if there was an explosion." In New York City, City Hall and the federal courthouse was evacuated. The quake was felt in the offices of Alcatel-Lucent in Murray Hill, Union County. Liza Ottesen, who works as a manager there, said her whole desk area started "swaying." "Everything started to sway very slightly, gently back and forth. It was very odd; I'm in the middle of a large building and nothing sways back and forth," she said. "I stood up and looked around to see if anyone else had noticed the same thing, and everybody was doing what I was doing." http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/08/earthquake_rocks_new_jersey_an.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted August 23, 2011 Share #13 Posted August 23, 2011 I was driving and while coming to a stop, the car just rumbled. Didn't think too much of it until I got back to the office. Hopefully the folks in DC and Virginia are alright, I have family down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted August 23, 2011 Share #14 Posted August 23, 2011 I was just sitting on my chair in my room as usual, and I was wondering why my shades were swaying and my chair moved a bit for about 20 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejr88 Posted August 23, 2011 Share #15 Posted August 23, 2011 I know what an earthquake feels like, felt the one in Haiti on January 2010 when I was at the Dominican Republic but today's earthquake I did not felt. I was walking home and when I flipped the iTouch's wifi to on, I get a push notification from the AP about the 5.8 earthquake magnitude on the northeast.

Broadway Local Posted August 23, 2011 Share #17 Posted August 23, 2011 While I was doing homework, the ground a shaking, so am I, my mom, and my things. I felt faint after the shaking stopped. Everyone, let's not panic. The shaking is over, and we're all good so far, unless for the people who are unlucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted August 23, 2011 Share #18 Posted August 23, 2011 The epicenter was in Mineral, Virginia. And this too shall pass. Keeping an eye out for Hurricane Irene.......:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted August 23, 2011 Share #19 Posted August 23, 2011 I felt my bed vibrating a bit, I honestly thought it was because of a heavy wind or something. Didn't feel that bad, but that's to be expected seeing as how NY wasn't the epicenter. inb4 NY Post makes a completely ridiculous headline out of this.

Urbanfortitude Posted August 23, 2011 Share #20 Posted August 23, 2011 I felt the ground moving while I was in the basement of the hospital. they evacuated the building for like a half hour and that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Trizzy2609 Posted August 23, 2011 Share #21 Posted August 23, 2011 I was working in the Turner Towers in Prospect Heights, the building swayed badly for few seconds. I thought at first I was getting dizzy and I was about to throw up but then the main doctor came running out screaming in his thick Haitian accent, "Earfquake! Earfquake!!" By then it was over. Felt a light aftershock after that alot of people didn't feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
