A magnitude 5.3 earthquake hit here in Colorado around Trinidad last night/this morning. I'm not educated in seismic activity, but it seems like we had an uncommonly active night.

Run tell dat!!!
See, you guys have it all wrong. After realizing that it was an earthquake, I looted the snack bars in the office. I knew the debt ceiling had made this tremor occur, so I was talking all the protein bars I could get my hands on.
I had to zigzag from Virginia to Maryland the traffic was so bad...

The majority of the media reports I've seen focus on Washington, DC and how Obama felt the earthquake on vacation in Martha's Vineyard. Nothing about how Mineral/Louisa, VA (near the epicenter - almost two hours SOUTH of DC) was doing.

I must admit, this was my first one. I was sitting at my computer and the monitor was swaying and the desk shaking a little. I thought my son was jumping in his room or something. I had no idea what it was until later.

Panamanian earthquake 1970 or 71
Any FOG's experience the 7.0 in Panama in 1970 or 71 ? I was on guard duty at an ammo dump in the middle of the night.....the whole jungle went quiet (that scared the shit out of me) then the perimeter fence started shaking at a distance and getting nearer, I thought we were being attacked !?!? I then realized, as I was being thrown around......it was an earthquake !
The guard shack emptied and those poor bastards thought the dump was detonating, it did not ease their minds when I told them "it was only an earthquake"
I got back to Fort Sherman the next morning and lots of guys were sleeping outside the barracks refusing to go back in...good times.

Seems that others made note of the same observation. News today in the region is more focused on the local impact in Mineral/Louisa; shop-owners, Town Hall and damage to the Fire Department building.
Much more impactful than the "crack" in the Washington Monument. Maybe George is trying to tell us something...
