At my job it felt like a heavy freight was passing by, it could have also been a morbidly obese patient falling over.

I'm in the Bay Area and I felt it.

Damn a little further north with a little more ooomph it could have taken out shithole Onterrible in Canada. A real missed opportunity in my opinion God.

Inb4 people jump in here powerleveling their location saying "I felt it!"

Since you started the convo...

I felt it in Philly. One of my cats freaked out and didn't know where to run. The other two didn't care as much. In fact, one of them just slept through it. My bedroom is on the third floor and has a low ceiling. So it was a bit scary for a few seconds even though this house seems pretty solid. The earthquake in 2011 came from Virginia and I was caught a bit dumbfounded by it. For a few seconds I couldn't figure out why the end table was shaking and the dog was acting weird. Then it dawned on me. It's an earthquake. I felt retarded. The only other time I can remember is when I was like nine or ten and watching Square One and there was a slight rumbling from a very minor quake.

On the radio they said that east coast earthquakes are felt at a longer distance because of the bedrock. Our building also aren't built with earthquakes in mind because we don't have many of them.

Apparently people as far up as new hampshire could feel it, from what these faggots have said about it.

OTOH, they didn't blame on Trump...yet.

Btw, some claim then the Ramapo fault could have played a role in previous earthquakes in that area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_activity_in_the_New_York_City_area

Sorry guys, Kevin Smith's private plane just landed. He really let himself go after Comic Book Men was cancelled and nobody watched season 2 of She-Man.
