Just felt my first Evah Earthquake.

About 11:15 tonight a 2.7 quake was centered in Concord NH.

I thought it was the Dryer in the basement .....

All the Sheep were outside .....and not in the barn...they must have known something was up.

Didn’t last very long....just a rumble

Did ya check your undawear

You never forget your first.

HAHA! It's pretty frightening for your first time. My grandma was in Costa Rica and had like a 3.0 and it just rattled everything around. She said that it scared the living daylights out of her.

Only ever been in one. I was at home in southeast PA. The jars in the wall-mounted spice rack started rattling then we felt it. It wasn't a big deal but we knew right away what it was.

Epicenter was about fifteen miles away in Sinking Spring (wonder how it got that name). It did some significant damage to some apartment buildings over that way.

We had a couple here in the last ten years or so.on the first one, I was standing in the garage BS'ing and the overheads were open.
We could hear it coming, sounded like an empty dump truck coming up the road with flatspotted tires. I kept watching towards to road when the floor vibrated and the noise went past us...but no truck went by.

I looked at the other guys and asked if that was an earth quake?? lol. Second one I knew what it was.

I had one just last week. Was laying in bed trying to drop off, when the house started shaking, lasted about 5 seconds. It made the news the next day, New Madrid fault some 300 miles away.

We had a few when I trapped in Arkansas. I was heading down the road with a buddy to another swamp to check traps. He said look at those telephone poles. I said what? Look at those poles down the road ahead of us. They were moving back and forth enough you could see it. I stopped and got out to look at them while we weren't moving. Then we could feel it. Saw my first Road Runners down there also at that time.

Been in several that lasted almost 30 minutes of trees falling and coconuts clattering and then thumping the ground. The hill sides had big bare vertical scars where trees used to be as they slide down the mountain side. They were called Guriers in the local pigeon english of New Guinea the northeast part. 3 times in one year probably 1970 I guess with the british military......jk

Wait road runners are real, poor coyotes!!!!

Maybe it wasn’t a quake, but Wile E blasting dynamite!! He’s gonna get that skinny bird yet!!!!!!!

I thought I was going through one here in se Texas years ago. the windows shook and doors started swinging. Turned on the news and they said space shuttle Columbia was missing. I figured it out.

We felt them in Afghanistan pretty often. Strange experience.

.

GF and I were asleep on a water bed for our first! Like being in a boat!

Was standing on a balcony in Japan having a smoke when I noticed the power lines were bouncing. Then we felt it. Eerie. About six years later , I was standing in a tower in Afghanistan and saw the same thing. Dancing power lines. I was in Kabul , word was the areas east of us had a lot of damage due to the rock/land slides . It's a weird event.

My one and only experience with them was in the Great Dismal Swamp. We were there for a wildfire.......and then had a horrific rain with intense flooding.......and then an earthquake. All that in the span of 14 days.

After being in Anchorage in 1964, I don’t even notice them anymore.

Boy I remember the news reports of that one in Alaska 1964. what problems did that cause you? I hope no loos of friends lives. That was my first exposure to earthquakes.....jk
