sullysue Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I was sitting here quietly on the couch about 20-30 minutes ago, and I felt it start to sway! At first, I thought NAHH... couldn't be a tremor. But, looking at facebook, I'm not the only one who felt it! Nothing big, but weird nonetheless. And, we've been having more and more of these things the past couple of years. There was a 5.2 magnitude in Oklahoma today, too. I know you West Coasters are going to snicker at this. But, this IS NOT normal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I experienced a small quake (5.5 mag) about 30 years ago, in Northern Kentucky. Very rare. I still have fond memories of sitting in the living room, watching TV, and then feeling the shaking EVERYWHERE...... I looked at my mother and we both said "WOW...."

Draco Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 5.6, like I said on FB, but after checking the USGS page again, it was only a depth of 3.1 miles! The more shallow a quake, the larger area of shaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 We had one here in the northeast a little while back. I think it originated in Virginia but I felt a little of it here in eastern NY. The Earth is moving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullSkull Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Shake Rattle and Roll.... the earth is moving under your feet.. As the east and mid sections keep moving a little it moves everything and the west is due to move. I grew up out there and have been in many large ones, here we don't have them, however, I am going to tie a few things down, a 5.anything would break a lot of stuff here. Stay Safe....

go2wrk@95974 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 This is just the beginning..there's gonna be some big quakes (7's-8's and maybe 9's mag.,on the west coast and central US.) within the next yr. or two, according to the experts. Get prepared, peeps..it's gonna be one rough/wild ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got all kind of things we do to try and keep stuff in place during the shaking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS is what I've been saying since we've had quakes near us in North Texas. I've lived here since '76. Not a single anything until they started the drilling. Our neighborhood has been holding out against drilling under us. We've wanted to see what the impact would be in the long term. I guess we might have our answer, and I'm glad we didn't all just jump at the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, a lot of people are being swayed by the money to sell the gas and mineral rights to their property. I'm not gonna fall for it! I hope my neighbors to do same. We may shake a little every once in a while, but you won't see us fall into a big abyss created from screwing with the earth's crust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
