5.9 and counting

Scared the living daylights out of me.

5.9 earthquake hits where earthquakes are rare and non-existent. Centered in Mineral, VA about 100 miles from DC. and 4.6 miles deep!

Hey, maybe this Dec 2012 thing is real, I saw the movie, you know.

Philly has some of the best restaurants in the East Coast and it is famous for its side walk cafe ...

I am enjoying its summer nights outdoor , trying to have  dinner in various places...... 

Seriously , the  East Coast IC members should set up a convention or something to meet with each other sometimes . It would be great.

was not an earthquake but a "Pashe" :)

When I checked CNN site, It was like a huge deal that there was this earthquake. On this site, friends from east caost who had just seen an earthquake, acted as if this was not an earthquake but a "Pashe".

We get it here too

You get it everywhere now. I think it's because of global warming. Few months ago I was driving and suddenly there was a massive earthquake. Then I looked and noticed that I had hit a bump on the road.

little risk of quake, and still on the sunny side of California. But damn the traffic.....

I like Philly a lot

by Cost-of-Progress on Tue Aug 23, 2011 12:16 PM PDT

Good history there too (for US). Love the East Coast (except for the summer heat and humidity). Anxiously waiting for cool weather and Fall colors..... and NO MORE FREAKING QUAKES.

What's for dinner?

Philly ...... I love it here ....

if you are not a Mickey Mouse fan, there are actually much more to do in the East Cost compare to the West Cost .. 

anyway .. 

BBQ sounds great why not?  Thanks a bunch.

Let's have JJ join us ... he is probably still in DC

Looks like the new cowboy Parry will have to spar with Obama, not Sarah-I-can-see-Russia-from-my-backyard-Palin.....

Now back to quake new....

I am in the East Cost now

by Soosan Khanoom on Tue Aug 23, 2011 11:50 AM PDT

somewhere between DC and NY ... far a little bit from the center ...  somehow I did not feel it although I saw most people stepped out ...... For now, I am more concerned about my senses than the earthquake....  lol

It was my first earthquake too! Scary.

by Esfand Aashena on Tue Aug 23, 2011 11:43 AM PDT

I actually thought for a second that the building would fall and I felt what earthquake victims go through, albeit for just a second.  Hope everyone is ok.
