TennTux Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Washington will get an earthquake and a hurricane in the same week? Maybe the politicians will get the hint? I doubt it Tom. Nothing has given them a clue yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Jim, Just Mother Nature, she's not happy with Washington DC.... Yeah, knocked a couple of "tips" off Washington Cathederal..... couple of 5 to 8 FOOT tall "tips". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyroo Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Washington will get an earthquake and a hurricane in the same week? Maybe the politicians will get the hint? Don't count on it Tom. They'll just set up another "Blue Ribbon Commission" to study the problem, with results to be forthcoming in September of 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDz Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I live in Paterson, NJ. I'm three blocks north of the Passaic River. We've never had water reach our block, even during the worst flooding periods. Still, after hearing of the earthquake, most of my neighbors moved their cars a block up the hill and left them with the engines running just in case of a river tsunami.... no tsunami, but four cars were stolen.

RJ CVmellophone Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I work across the street from ATL airport and definitely felt it. Our building undulated sort of like a boat with ripples passing beneath it. Papers hanging on my cube walls swayed and you could definitely feel it for about 20-30 seconds.

audiodb Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 The quake was felt in my area (Delaware/south NJ). Called home to make sure all was well. Found out that neighbors on our street started putting in a pool today. They started the serious digging right before the quake. The work crew was seen afterward in a frenzy, momentarily afraid they were the cause of the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
