Man it felt like some crazy shit. I was sitting here at my house, probably 100ish miles from the epicenter, and I thought it was a truck driving up the street, until my entire house was shaking. I grabbed my dog and got outside in about 5 seconds flat lol. My house was shaking for a good 10 seconds, it felt like it was going in slow mo.

CRAZY! THAT'S not supposed to happen there.........

That was wild. I was definitely scared there for about 30 seconds.

Given the forecast for Hurricane Irene, it looks like the DC area gets to deal with an earthquake and a hurricane in the same week.

Actually the hurricane will prob cause more damage given that it is supposed to rain before the hurricane gets here, so there will be some flooding. Although I heard that the National Cathedral had some damage b/c of the earthquake.

yeah....it wasnt fun. but damn this wiskey and ginger is tasting yummy now. I can say with certainty i much rather deal with the coming hurricane than that bullsh*t. Ive been through a hurricane and that's cake compared to the ground moving so violently below me. sounded like a train as the buidling shook.

Also, we have a hurricane scheduled to hit this Saturday. Good week for mother nature.

Yeah. I had got off the phone with her just before you called. Just kidding, no offense.
