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 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!

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.

My co-worker's phone got cut in the middle of a call, too! This is so freakin' weird... glad you're okay!

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!

So glad you're okay. What a freaky thing! All those old brick buildings *so* not built for earthquakes - glad there wasn't as much damage as their could have been!
