Several years ago. I was in the bathroom getting ready for work when an earthquake hit in, I think, VA. We felt the aftershock of it in NE GA. Cyndi and I both thought something exploded.

5.6 in Ok 45 miles east of Oklahoma City earlier today maybe aftershocks , the other big fault lies to the northwest of you .

 

[terry]

Yeab,,I think the quake was in Oklahoma city..I think I felt an aftershock..weird feeling when your house rocks like you were in a camper.

Here in Washington State, we have a quake that big every few years. We haven't had a big one since I have been on the boat yet.
Exhilarating, aren't they? I hope there was no damage.

 

[riptide]

none in my area just a gentle rocking.

 

[markw4mms]

It doesn't happen in GA often, but I have felt one here before, it was quite an experience. I hope any damage you might have had was minimal.

 

[terry]

No damage here thank goodness.

When I was a kid we had an earthquake here in Indiana. Unfortunately my mom was driving me to a little league game when it happened so I didn't feel it. I got to the ball park and everyone was freaking out, I lost my chance at feeling an earthquake :evil:

 

[terry]

I think there are several members here who live in Oklahoma...Hope they did not have any damage.

Well, if you've ever had several UH-1 Huey military helicopters fly low over your house, you'd know what a low level Earthquake is like. At least that is what is was similar to here in GA.

I slept through our last 5.6 here in AK :lol: That last one I remember thinking "whoa, this is kinda big" was the 7.9 quake in 2002 when the Denali Fault ruptured.
Glad all is well for you guys

We have them so often down here that i become sort of blaise, is that how it's spelt?

Anyway they can be a shock to the system if you dont know what to expect.

 

[philip]

edit - Sorry, I used to be a teacher.
