I've been thru several in CA, but this was the first one I've experienced here in Va. I was surprised at how long it lasted.

Holy crap, I just experienced a small quake a few minutes ago!

Just sitting here, and the floor started moving back and forth, and crap was falling off the walls. I've never experienced anything like it, and just headed right out the door (with about twenty other freaked out people behind me!)

Thumbs up
Upon further report it seems that after a steamy all-nighter, joebuck's latest POF catch simply fell out of bed.


Carry-on people.
