I think that for the first time I'm happy to pay for watching Fox News/Fox Business. Elsewhere on the other channels, seems that exists only Libya and Gaddafi.

We actually felt that all the way in North Western Indiana! I was on floor 11 of a building, and that building moved a heck of a lot. Freaky scary. It went on long enough that we all had time to congregate under the door archways.

That's a damned long way away to feel an earthquake!

 

[Henrik Larsson]

I have never experienced an earthquake.
I would like it to happen here as long as no one was hurt.

Hmmm, there was one in Colorado today too.

Rare Strong Earthquake Hits Colorado

DENVER — The largest natural earthquake in Colorado in more than a century struck Monday night in the state’s southeast corner, but there had been no reports of damage or injuries.

The quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 5.3 and centered about nine miles from the city of Trinidad, hit at 11:46 p.m. local time. It was felt as far away as Greeley, about 350 miles north, and into Kansas and New Mexico, said Julie Dutton, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo.

Colorado, with its mix of mountains and plains, sits astride a seismically stable part of the nation where earthquakes are mostly mild and far between. But the area around Trinidad is regularly hit by tiny quakes as a result of a local fault zone, Ms. Dutton said.

She said that while Colorado has experienced several earthquakes close to Monday’s size in recent decades — a magnitude 5.3 near Denver in 1967 and a magnitude 5.7 in the state’s northwest corner in 1973 — both of those quakes were ultimately determined to have been caused by human activity, from explosives or drilling.

The last known natural event of comparable size was an earthquake in 1882 in what is now Rocky Mountain National Park, several hours northwest of Denver. That quake, based on historical reports, was about a magnitude 6.5, Ms. Dutton said.

I didn't feel anything here in MA

 

[ApolloBalboa]

I was outside at work when I felt it. I noticed some cars swaying first and then noticed that the whole ground was shaking. It only lasted a few seconds though.

It was weird, but kind of cool, I've never felt an earthquake before.

 

[Violator79]

Felt some rumbling here in Pittsburgh. I thought I was going crazy, but I checked on the news site here and found out what had happened.


I'm not too "shaken" up over it and the good "vibrations" I'm getting over it can really make the Earth move.

 

[Will E Worm]

I have not felt anything here.


Supposedly there were a few.

That was weird. But in a cool way. Everything at work started to sway.
