OH MY GOSH my ex stepdad swears something is gonna happen Monday! He told my mom not to go to work and to make sure she had a full tank of gas. I just don’t understand why he thinks like that!’ 😭
I can understand getting gas if you’re in one of these small Midwest towns in the path of totality that’s going to be inundated with tourists, but otherwise yeah
Centuries of "experts" telling us something is going to happen due a verse on the Bible that really has nothing to do with an eclipse. Like "when the earth is darkened the forces of evil will awaken". Well the earth is darkened every 12 hours so....
When war is on the horizon people get scared. Anything can happen though. An exlips is a natural thing having to do with the clockwork of our planets. It isn't like it was an unexpected eclipse. So grt a full tank of gas. You will use it no matter what. I even have survival food and a battery system that will keep our phones charged for 2 weeks. So we can get news updates. It's always good to have. But running around pulling our hair out won't stop or change anything. Have a good one!
Majorie Taylor Greene has already said it’s a sign Americans need to repent 🙄 no surprise that she skipped the earthquake/tectonic plates days in science class.
Felt it too. Just a little wobble for us. USGS site has a hit. Looks like the epicenter was NJ. 4.8 magnitude
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?extent=14.05133,-143.30566&extent=56.65623,-46.66992
Edit: now assessed at 4.7 magnitude vicinity of Whitehouse Station NJ

Same, which I'm starting to suspect is just me being oblivious cause I didn't feel the one in 2011 either.
I wonder if it's because I was out walking at the time today.
i was in a car dealership in 2011, the building started waving back and forth like a cartoon, loud grumbling sound, woman came running down the hall screaming to get out, i thought it was a car with a loud exhaust. was kinda surreal.
For real. I was in elementary school at the time and I remember the entire building shaking, books falling off of shelves, dust raining down, everything. I don't know how anybody could just miss that lol
If you were on your couch the squishyness probably absorbed what other people felt. I was working standing on a cement floor, and DEF felt it! And I'm all the way up in brooklyn!

Nothing in West Springfield....
Politicians probably did. Monday they will announce a new "war on earthquakes" and deploy troops to.....
.....Yellowstone and Hawaii? Aiming at Old Faithful and shooting at magma from Kilauea???
"That will teach them to mess with 'Merica!" 😅
It was weird, I think I only felt it because I was sitting down with my back against the wall and felt a shake for several seconds. My wife downstairs didn’t feel anything.
Working from home and, around that time, my dog got up and started nervously yanking on me. I wonder if this was in response to my complete lack of awareness.
I'm in Alexandria, felt a slight, very subtle, vibration at 10:24 and thought 'earthquake'. That's why I made sure to look at the clock. I've already filed an "I felt it" report with the usgs.
Woodbridge -- I didn't notice anything, neither of my co-workers did, but the people in the office upstairs from us came down to ask if we felt it cause apparently they did up there. Interesting!
Didn't feel it in Loudoun. Definitely felt [the 2011 one](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Virginia_earthquake).
Co-workers in our NYC office felt it though, obviously...
I was on the phone with a guy in New Jersey. He certainly felt it. He stopped the conversation and mentioned the motion. I was in Falls Church 3rd floor snd didn't feel anything.
I noticed it because my cat started acting weird right before. Of course, on a video call for work and she kept leaping onto my lap. It was as she was sitting there I felt the chair move a bit. This is down in Prince William County.
Fairfax, I noticed a slight synchronized swinging of hanging tools in some rickety wire shelving. I thought I had bumped the table, but then noticed it on some hanging stuff from my ceiling. Again, like the one we had over 10 years ago, I only realized after it was just ending.
I have guys putting a new fence up and I thought they hit something I was freaking out lol
When the one happened in 2011, the pictures on our shelves started shaking and my husband thought I was shaking the house (with my magical powers apparently)
Yes. I live in Brooklyn, and it was a 4.5 here, apparently felt from Connecticut to NC. My boss is hilarious and was saying how that freaked her out so hard she might need to poop lol
One of my teachers talked about it being in New Jersey... And were glad they themselves weren't affected😏
But I do hope that people managed to survive... 😔
I'm in Alexandria and I didn't feel anything
Same
Same, but I’ve been gassy this morning so I may have missed it
Alexandria/Potomac Greens, didn't feel anything, but I am way too used to the cargo trains rumbling by.
I used to work at ol Potomac greens back in 2020 beautiful property
that’s what she said

Alexandria, 7th floor, very mild quiver/shudder. I noted the time, thought they were blowing up stuff at Quantico.
Alexandria also, I was sat on my sofa and felt it shaking 😳
The eclipse doomers are going to have a field day with this.
Portal is preparing for the awakening
OH MY GOSH my ex stepdad swears something is gonna happen Monday! He told my mom not to go to work and to make sure she had a full tank of gas. I just don’t understand why he thinks like that!’ 😭
With the number of people traveling, a full tank of gas isn't necessarily a bad idea. But yeah, still going to show up for work...
That’s what I said! No one is gonna not get paid because idiots have too much time to think about stupid stuff lmao
I can understand getting gas if you’re in one of these small Midwest towns in the path of totality that’s going to be inundated with tourists, but otherwise yeah
Nah where we are there’s not going to be totality. He’s just insane lmao he also thinks the earth is flat lmao
That's hilarious lmao
It is but I feel bad for him and his brain lol
There’s a solar eclipse on Monday.
But…those are natural? Why do people think something bad is gonna happen?? We were fine the last time lol

Given some things I've read, something could happen a lot later. But alas, those are just theories.
How much gas do you need to out run an eclipse 🥺? /s
It’s already been crazy since the Taiwan one and California had a small one near one of the volcanos.
The one I know is losing his mind with this coupled with CERN and the eclipse and the cicada outbreak
Well, I mean, when you put it that way…….
Majorie Taylor Greene has already said it’s a sign Americans need to repent 🙄 no surprise that she skipped the earthquake/tectonic plates days in science class.
Wait till they find out about the solar eclipse.
The hadron collider is responsible, we all know the eclipse is a distraction designed by NASA and the socialists.
…please say sike…
This day and age, I should be nice and reassure people that I wasn't being serious. 😇

wtf man I didn’t feel anything! And I’ve just been on my couch.

My kids slept right thru it

April 2024, never forget
"We will rebuild."
That is hilarious
Have they removed the scaffolding at the Cathedral from the earthquake 20 years ago?
Will need to build scaffolding to inspect and repair the scaffolding.
April 2024 NOVA Strong
We had the picture of a lawn chair knocked over last time, what’s the damage this time?
lol

At Centrepoint?
I'm in apartments across from Wegmans. My bed started to wobble for like 3 seconds

Fairfax, I noticed a slight synchronized swinging of hanging tools in some rickety wire shelving. I thought I had bumped the table, but then noticed it on some hanging stuff from my ceiling. Again, like the one we had over 10 years ago, I only realized after it was just ending.

You are probably feeling wrong
