5.8 Earthquake in DC

[shintao]

Felt a small one when I lived in NH.

Surprised the shit outta me because NH is solid granite. LOL

Hmmm, you really need to feel one on the West Coast where the big ones hang out.

Fox News reported that there was a claim that the Washington Monument is leaning, and never said anything about it again. WTF.

Maybe it's freaked out that there is now a black man on the mall.

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly reported at 2:30 pm that their bureau received information from a producer saying that a Captiol Hill Police officer says that the Washington Monument may actually be tilting as a result of the earthquake.

Seismologist John Rundle joined Kelly on her show and confirmed that the Washington Monument could very well be tilting as a result of the earthquake and the structure should be checked out.

Two nuclear reactors have reportedly been taken off line near the epicenter of the earthquake.

When hasn't there been a black man on the mall? I'm pretty sure there has been a black man on the mall ever since there was a mall.

I felt it here in Central PA(about 50 miles N of Harrisburg). I didn't know it was an earthquake. I was catching up on some of the programs I DVR-ed, since it's my day off. I was sitting in my recliner and it started gently rocking. I thought the dog was lying against it and was scratching or something... I reached around the chair to shoo it away, and the dog wasn't there. Wife was in the kitchen and she said she felt the house move a little.

I didn't think nothing of it until my brother in law called and told us about the quake.

Interesting... first time I've ever actually felt one.

Update 3:04 p.m. ET: All national monuments and parks in Washington are "stable but closed" following Tuesday's earthquake, a United States Park Police spokesman Sgt. David Schlosser said. A couple of minor injuries and some minor structural damage have been reported in Washington, following Tuesday's earthquake, according to Schlosser.

Part of the central tower of the National Cathedral, the highest point in Washington, D.C., was damaged, according to spokesman Richard Weinberg. "It looks like three of the pinnacles have broken off the central tower," Weinberg told CNN.

i blame obama.

Drat! You beat me to it.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

i blame obama.

5.8 is one point for every state Obama visited in 08

 

[Ernie S.]

i blame obama.

It's obvious he knew it was coming. Why else would he leave Washington and go on vacation when there is so much he should be doing to fix the economy.

OR, maybe is wasn't an earthquake at all and the rumbling felt was reaction to his new jobs plan.
