| I know this thread is a bit late, since it happened yesterday. Did anybody here feel the earthquake? What do you think? I felt it while I was beating Dialga in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time. I think Dialga was angry at me for beating him.
The epicenter of the earthquake was in Virginia, I believe. We're not close to any fault lines, so it's a really rare occasion. We haven't had an earthquake of that magnitude since 1897. I was in MD, so I could just feel a bit of rumbling and some window shaking, but that's about it. I think my cat slept through it. |

| Well, I don't live in the US, I live in Canada.
And I certainly did feel it.
It was the most strangest thing I've ever felt. When it was happening, I was in a skype call with Agent. I thought I was just going nuts after using the computer for too long. So anyways, I then started to notice everything shaking. My desk, my screen, everything. It was quite scary. D: |

| I was right in it, Since I live in DC...
I was thoroughly disappointed. I feel flat on my face, people went nuts and some buildings took some damage. Not really worth mentioning, if you ask me. Aside from the fact that the 5 birds of prey I was feeding went completely berserk. _________________  |

| I heard about that through a source I know. I'm just glad everyone is okay even though some of you weren't affected. |

| Not to get off topic, (Yet on-topic if we're talking about natural disasters)
Anybody hear on TV About a Tornado Warning?

I heard about it, but we're three hours from there. My family was going to go see Cowboys and Aliens, but my dad decided we should stay home just in case. |

| We got a tornado warning about an hour ago. It's back to watch now, but that's still not good. My parents and sister are going to bed for some reason.  |

| Like Drew said, Hurricane Irene is coming soon. I don't know if the east coast area is going to get hit, though. The forecast says otherwise. I don't really keep good track of it, though, so don't take my word for it. |

| Summer vacation and there's a hurricane. Too bad for you guys who are having the storm. I have my nice cool West coast...I've never been in a bad earthquake although last year there was a series of small earthquakes...So, yeah.. WEST COAST FTW! |

Nevermind, no thunder storm. |
