hokey smokes omg!!!

Earthquake--here in little south jersey!! That was freaky as hell! I can't even describe it--it was weird, and scary! My house isn't supposed to dance like that!

No damage at all, just a weird unsettling feeling. Also my cell phone is imitating a brick. Great to know, that. So in a real emergency, I'm fucked?

You know us east coast folks will be talking about this for days to come, hah!

Yeah, we got hit too, it was fun though! I enjoyed it a lot more then I did Hurricane Irene wrecking havoc everywhere.

That was definitely... different. I was sitting at my desk and it started shaking. I didn't feel it a lot, and thought it was my imagination until my mom called to ask me if I felt it.

Hopefully we won't feel any more from it. Stay safe. *hugs* ♥

That's one to grow on, for sure.

I'm a native of California so I've been in a ton of them so I was wondering why it was such a big deal in the East coast, not thinking that it's uncommon there, that's why. Yep, you lot are going to be talking about this for a while.

I'm just thinking about ya'll snickering up your sleeves at us, like in the '90s when we had a giant ice-storm out here and the Canadians laughed themselves sick at us--"You call that ice, eh?"

I admit the pictures of people standing in the streets looking to the sky as if "Why God, why????" is cracking me up.

i'm supervising ted's student driving these days. he had just parked the toyota in a lot near a plaza when the car went bonkers, rocking like a boat on the ocean. we were so scared, we leaped out and watched it rock, even with the engine turned off. all i could think was i was going to have to call an effing tow truck.

then we noticed all the people standing outside the plaza's food court. ah, earthquake!

omg!!! You guys had a hell of an experience! I'm kind of glad I was in bed to start--figured I was just going nuts! *GGG*

Ah, that was the earthquake that I felt, I wasn’t sure if it was an earthquake at first, I thought it was only a big truck that must have passed on the street, but when it didn’t stop right away and things around me was still moving, I figured that it was an earthquake.

I’m glad that you are all right.

You felt it too!!??

I've never had an experience quite so...odd!

I'm glad you're okay, too, my dear!

Weird right??? What an odd feeling! I'm glad no one seems to be hurt, thank goodness!

A co-worker was shaking her yoghurt drink when the quake happened. We both kept looking at her bottle like she had cause the ground to move by shaking it too hard!
