5.9 Magnitude Earthquake in Virginia

[bgfan]

So apparently there was a 5.9 magnitude earthquake in Virginia an hour or so back. I live in the North of Pa and was woken up this morning by a picture falling on me, and my bed violently shaking. This was also a bit of a surprise, as Earthquakes don't often occur in the North, let alone ones of such magnitude.

Kind of odd.  The first thing I said to my parents this morning was "What's shaking?".

The rest of my family felt the quake, but oddly enough I didn't notice it. I think I need some coffee.

Morning? It happened in the afternoon....

Anyways, we had some shaking in DC, but nothing too worrying. Most of my office left for the day (wusses).

My first earthquake, pretty cool!

I'm just outside of Richmond and the shaking was pretty intense for about 30 seconds, but no damage.

My balls were resting on the ground when this happened.

I know this because I randomly got an erection, nothing to do with the elderly women walking by.

Morning?

I'm too busy sleeping in the morning for coffee.

I was in the auditorium of a chemistry building waiting for a lecture to start on "Science, Technology, and Society" when the quake hit; I just assumed people with messing around with chemicals downstairs.

Interesting: The earthquake cracked the walls at my nephew's school (over in VA). They had to evacuate the building.

Here I was, all jealous that this happened once I left the east coast, only to find out that a roughly equivalent quake happened in my back yard just last night. ... and I couldn't feel a thing. I guess I was just a little too far north.

Nature is pissed off.

Guess that puts down my decades-long question of, "Is Magorian British?"

Evidently you don't scan his posts for spelling errors.

Or watch any of my youtube videos. I see how it is.

My channel. The most recent two are the best. The channel will probably be revamped somewhat soon, as I think I can do a much better job than I was when I started.
