6. As it was happening, a pair of skis in one of the upstairs bedrooms fell over

In the moment, I thought it was the house coming down! :)

5. Everything OK? nt

[Stinky The Clown]

7. Yeah, we're okay.

The dogs freaked out!

9. My dog started pacing about 5 minutes before it happened. She had

just gone out, so I couldn't figure out what was wrong. She does that before a thunderstorm too, she always knows when something is coming.

11. Good to know :)

Stay clear of anything that can fall in case there are aftershocks OK? Take care!

8. Mother Earth is very alive and always changing. We are just lucky

that she has been settled for a few million years giving time and conditions for us to evolve. We are so fortunate. We should take very good care of her so we can continue to have life here. We are definitely her children.

Stinky, we are riding a big living thing. That is unsettling but we have been enjoying hanging on.Sometimes these shudders are a way to stretch instead of breaking. It's just unusual in this area.

Climate change and plate change can be affected by our actions over a long time or of great magnitude. I always thought that removal of resources such as coal, gas, oil may effect her system. those open spaces from gravity will collapse and that could cause other movements. Remember our core is a large molten liquid.

Sorry. I'm probably making you more worried.Odds are this is a rare occurrence in this area.

10. wow...felt it big time in VA Beach....shocking

[jwirr]

15. Any fracking in the area? Arkansas stopped fracking saying it

caused earthquakes.

12. I'm here in Woodbridge Virginia and our house was shaken a whole lot. Have

some broken crystal but fine otherwise. Don't know if any damage to the house or not. Strong enough I could not stand up.
