skinfan133 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 There's a fault line on the east coast (you know, it goes through Great Falls), definitely not as active as it once was oh 20,000 years ago, but this area used to get earthquakes just like the pacific does. We still get jostled every once in a while. There was a 4.5 in VA a couple years ago, I felt that one, but slept like a baby through this morning's quake. don't get scared but statistically speaking VA is due for a major shake (5.5 -6.5) within the next 50-75 years or so last I checked.

Yeah I know what you're talking about. Theres a section of Luray Caverns that's inaccessible because of a huge quake that happened a long time ago.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Last night was my night off so I was going to bed when it happened. I put my earplugs in and had my dog next to me, layed my head down...no more than a minute later it happened. My dog was snuggled and buried under the covers, he is a heavy sleeper. But he pounced up and stood on my stomach as if there were an intruder. I looked at him and asked what the **** he was doing...then I heard the noise through my earplugs. I hate taking my earplugs out once I have them in...but I ripped them out like a flash once I heard what sounded like two fighter jets zooming above my house. It didn't last long at all...and I basically caught the tail end of it with my ears not plugged up...but it sure was loud...and there was a slight vibration. I went to bed figuring two jets were being scrambled and it just so happened their route was right above my house. I was worried I'd wake up hearing about terrorism.

skinfan133 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Glad I don't live in Point of Rocks, apparently there's an area of extreme shaking an very heavy damage in the shape of a star around their town. I hope everyone there is still alive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw Rockville! ....ok now I feel better. Just saw the map where the center was located and zoomed in using Google Earth. Looks like it was centered right under an apartment building in Germantown - the renters ain't gonna be happy about that. Free rent for 90 days!

Jeff in D.C. Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I live in Gaithersburg - my room rumbled and I was like "wtf was that?" I was so tired that I went back to sleep for a few hours, then when I went to the Washington Post website I read about it. A 3.6 is nothing to sneeze at, and having lived in this area my whole life I've never experienced a quake before, so it was a bit startling.

DeanCollins Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Wtf, that was nothing. We had a 6.0 a couple years ago. It shook my bed for like 10 seconds. http://www.tbnweekly.com/content_articles/091006_fpg-01.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnhay Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 So now I've experienced 2 earthquakes (one much bigger, in the mid 6's I think), but noticed nothing until someone told me after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
