Earthquake in Germantown-Gaithersburg MD

[Terzo]

Yes yes, I know you Californians will laugh at us but we don't really get earthquakes. It was only 3.6.

I actually woke up and felt the vibrations, but it I wasn't quite sure what was going on. I remember thinking, "wtf is this, an earthquake?". I half thought it was a dream and went back to sleep, but the news tells me otherwise. I think this is the first time I've experienced an earthquake.

3.6 sized. Heard about it on the CT news this morning while on the bike, think I woke up just after it happened.

Nothing felt down here in NW DC. Was sound asleep.

Felt it here in Frederick, the funny thing is, I knew exactly what it was, was like "cool" and then went right back to sleep. It is the first time I have ever felt one before, no earthquake is going to mess with my sleep

Felt it in Woodbridge. The wife and I were wondering wtf was that.

Felt it in Arlington, VA. I was looking out the window expecting a large truck to be driving by.

My wife is from CA - she got up, but didn't think it was a quake bc it was weak. She was worried the AC blower was dying or something.

Baltimore MD, felt/heard it here as well. For a second I was wondering if some a-hole had a really powerful subwoofer on his car.

haha I felt it out in VA but when I woke up after my alarm went off a little while later, I had forgotten all about it until I heard everyone freaking out about it on the radio. One woman was like "oh my goodness, my whole bed was just shaking! It was terrifying, and I am outside of my house right now because I am so freaked out."

lol

As a transplanted Californian I couldn't help but laugh over the furor cause by a 3.x quake.

Crazy stuff! If you can feel a 3.6, I would not be able to imagine what a 7+ would be like. 6's are normal in cali aren't they?

I was at work in Germantown and I thought our delivery guy ran into the building with his truck

i was sound asleep in my apartment 9 floors up in rockville, didn't feel anything. neither did my wife.

probably cause our new bed is so fucking comfortable that we get very good nights sleep heh.

every 1 point is 10x power, making a 6.6 earthquake 1000 times stronger. no wonder californians make fun of us.

 

[eits]

my best friend back home in olney didn't know about it until someone told him

2 of my friends woke up in the middle of the night to it.

1 in silver spring, 1 in potomac.

I had a dream last night that I was in an earthquake. This is obviously a case of precognition.
