earthquake
where were you when the earthquake hit today? I was driving down the freeway at 65mph when the whole Jeep started shaking. Thought I had broke something until the radio announced the quake.

I was actually in my Jeep in the driveway looking at how to take the dashboard apart. I thought my neighbor came over and was rocking the truck, looked in the mirrors, seen no one. got out and put my hand on the back door thinking it had to be the gas in the tank rocking..nope!
I live in NY right across the water from NYC
Phones did not work, but facebook was right on it with all my friends posting lol
I knew what it was about 20 seconds after it stopped, how funny is that!

It hit while I was watching the news. They were just giving a warning about the Hurricane and suddenly it sounded like my roof was being ripped off. My first thought was their prediction of it being a few days away was a little off. It shook pretty hard for about 30 seconds. From what I can see from reports from the news and other members here and friends from Facebook the further away you are from the epicenter the more you feel. DC had buildings loosing bricks and all we had was the shakes. I am guessing that it is like the Tsunamis. The waves grow the further away from the epicenter they get before they hit something solid. I am not a Geologist so don’t take my word for it! LOL
