    Okay.

    Oddly enough your comment has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

    Well, I looked around and discovered that, even this far away, there was damage.

    That is shocking. I can not imagine what the insurance losses on that are going to amount to.

    Oh, and good thing that is not your pick or you would have gotten a ration for having plastic lawn furniture.

    for fairness people on the east coast never experienced an earth quake, the last one was in the 1900's

    it was very traumatic and even more for those few unfortunate to be having a bowel movement during that small window of time...

    ... the good Lord gonna shake the capitals...

    ... been shaken by earthquakes...

    ... so all ye lefty, lib'ral, gay-supportin', terrorist-sympathizin' yankee media types...

    ... better repent or ya gonna be feelin' the brimstone of the lake o' fire when He comes back."

    Sometimes, I have a hard time understanding why I do not take Christians seriously.

    The best way is to not be inside. Hard for a building to collapse on you when you are on the outside of it.

    Some NYers tend to get skittish when buildings start shaking. I wonder why.

    On the other hand, this is the funniest thing I've seen today:

    I guess southeast Colorado had an earthquake late Monday night. I live 20 miles east of Colorado Springs, I didn't feel anything. God willing I will never be in the middle of one.

    Just think, here in Jackson, WY. we are at least 10,000 years over due for a 7.5 of bigger from the teton fault line that is right outsdie of town. If that hits while I am still around all I can do is put my head between my legs and kiss my ass goodbye.

    I'll never forget The first time I experienced an Earthquake.It was the
    summer I believe,might have been the fall though.Anyways' it
    was in the 80's and it was in the early evening.I was sitting in my
    favorite chair { rocking chair } and watching TV.All of a sudden i
    felt a strange sensation as if someone was behind my chair and trying
    to pull it backwards slowly yet with a rocking motion.I got disoriented
    Immediately and felt I was incapable of doing anything.
    I also felt an Earthquake a few years ago,maybe the mid 2000's
    in the early morn while still in bed.It awoke me and shook my house
    and seemed like it was on the verge of causing damage to the structure
    of my dwelling.

    Not to mention that yellowstone is at least 42,000 years overdue to blow.

    I just checked the teton fault sesimic activity and this is what I found. It was felt all over including up in the park and beyond. Check out the 11:00 oclock time

    Really? Well, hope it hangs on until I get the chance to go back and see more sights...... what a beautiful, fascinating place!

    I've been in Wyoming, but not your area and have heard that Jackson is really beautiful....

    Talk about blowing - we have Mt. Rainier, which is awesome, and geologists saying it'll blow one of these days - then there's Mt. Hood south of me w/the same prediction .... then I look at good ole' Helen, missing the top of her head and last I heard she's still burping and belching occassionally....

    I hope all 3 don't blow at the same time... whatta mess that would be!:twisted:

    Earthquakes on the West Coast are dramatically different than on the
    East Coast.The shale rock is different.Earthquakes are more localized and
    violent in California than out East.
    This same Earthquake wouldn't have been felt outside the average
    200 mile sq. radius in California.
    This quake was even felt north of Detroit in Canada.
