A earth quake just happened near washington dc. It was felt all over the east coats. Any thoughts on why an earthquake happened here?

You know you should probably provide links for important events.

Interesting, I'm not particularly worried about it, but I know the Doomsayers will be having a field day once htis is over with.

It actually happened in Virginia, I didn't see this thread so I posted another one in the "World Events, Politics, Religion Etc." thread. Oh well.

Guys, the quake happened from Chicago to Maine, all the way down to West Virginia. I didn't feel it, but it was pretty weird, since most people did feel it and earthquakes don't even happen here.

What I meant was that the epicenter was in Virginia, but the tremble could be felt on the entire east coast. I'm in North Carolina and I felt it.

Maybe Ghadahfi dropped a bomb nearby that made the ground shake.

Haha
Some of my friends felt it in north Carolina. They heard a drain pipe burst in the pentagon :0
If it was a bomb, the guys have bad aim

Actually it belongs here, the thread you posted (which I made) was created after this one. I didn't see this thread when I created that one. And again, the earthquake was felt on the entire east coast! But the epicenter was in Virginia. Thank god it wasn't a bad earthquake.

Yeah, imagine if it was bigger. It could wipe out dc and other cities and maybe even make a tsunammi if it was strong enough. That could take out most of the biggest cities in europe! And all the after shocks must be killer!

I am actually watching a news report of it right now in brazil. This made International news. Probably only because it happened in a rare place and to America. And like always, the americans were panicking thinking it was some sort of terrorist attack.

People were panicing because they arn't used to earthquakes on the east coast as much as west coast. I didn't feel anything though.

Not all that unusual. There was an earthquake off the coast of Louisiana a few years back and that is much rarer than in DC.

Maybe Ghadahfi dropped a bomb nearby that made the ground shake.
