Ha, and the Sun still hasn't picked up the story... Maybe they just thought Preston was walking down the hall...

Everyone is evacuated downtown and nobody wants to go back in.

Mercy hospital shook.

THERE COULD BE AFTER SHOCKS!

Chan 11 is calling it 5.9

Someone in White Marsh Mall yelled EARTHQUAKE and there was a mad stampede
out.

People downtown are still outside their bldgs. Some are probably going home.

Don't worry, no Tsunami is expected-lol.

BLS--
I heard Mineral was the epicenter. Spent a week there one night with some fraternity brothers!

Hope all Ravens fans (oh, heck, ALL team fans ;), families and friends are unhurt and no damage. I was outside behind my garage weeding in da herb garden, and thought I heard something unusual. Then I heard the vents and siding on the garage rattling as if a real heavy breeze or wind gust came through. I looked at the trees all around and everything was completely still! I figured the next thing I'd hear would be Rod Serling's voice saying,

"Imagine, if you will, a man...standing behind his garage...suddenly, the rush of a terror worse than anything he's ever known...he craps his pants...in...

The Twilight Zone!"

I would have bet serious money that my sister-in-law would have a job before we'd have an earthquake on the east coast. I guess I lost that bet too, while she's still getting sympathy $ from her sister (my wife) UGH ! ... Bc

I didn't feel it here in Colorado. However, we did have one of our own yesterday, but much further south (near New Mexico). I didn't feel that one either. The Colorado Rocky Mountains are keeping us safe. Either that or the medical marijuana dispensaries.

4th floor in my downtown Balto buiding really shook. Hit the door jam like a school kid. That was nuts.

Friends in skyscraper in Manhattan had building swaying for 10-15 secs. They must have been losing it.

Im in Chesapeake, VA at work...i thought somebody was shaking my chair then i looked back and nobody was there.

**ballhawk** · 08-23-2011, 03:03 PM

Didn't feel anything down here at the beach. Everybody must have went right to their cell phones because I had a hard time getting through to my mom and bro.
