Earthquake?

[meesterperfect]

I think Ive heard that for every whole number on the richter scale the intensity doubles.
so if this was a 6 and Japans was and 8 that one was 3x stronger.

Meh. I know. It's nothing for you guys.

But shit like that doesn't happen here, and buildings aren't built to the same kind of safety standards you guys have.

Also, everyone knows that the East Coast people are pussies.

Wait, do you mean you didn't feel it when they shit themselves, or you didn't feel the earthquake?

Both. The smell on the other hand....

Oh, you pussies are crying about a 5.9 quake. In California we call that mild heartburn. I slept through a 7.6 when I was 5 years old.

 

[domshooter]

the east coast, more specifically NY has been loooong overdue for a major quake. but then again it was probably nothing. dont worry about it.

now ya'll know how we feel....kinda

 

[tiger1977]

Yep, siting in a building with my transfer students and we felt the building shake. Pretty cool.

May be true, but when it happens on the east coast, people freak. It was a weird sensation... I was at work today when it happened, felt the building swaying.

Because earthquakes are not supposed to happen any where in America but in the west. :tongue:

Using the subway from D.C. took 1 1/2 hrs instead of 30 minutes due to reducing the speed of the trains because they are not sure how much, if any, damage was done to the tracks. One of my coworkers lives just northeast of Mineral and his wife told him that the only damage they have is items that fell from bookcases, cupboards, etc. By the time most of us realized what was happening it was over.

 

[Frank Fire]

No and i was in one of the areas that had it
