As many on my f-list experienced first hand, the DC area had an earthquake at 5:04 am. The epicenter was approx. 1 mile from my house. Benny and I woke up trying to figure out what it was: a loud truck, a low-flying plane or jet? Not with the walls shaking that much! It was over quickly and nothing fell off walls, but it was still scary ( Read more... )

So cute! A 3.6 earthquake wouldn't even wake me up here in B.C.! In fact, while on vacation at the end of June to Montreal, we had a 5.0 earthquake, and I didn't even notice it! (don't even start me on why I had to travel to the other side of my country to have an earthquake when I live in the Pacific Ring of Fire). To be fair, your earthquake was at a fairly shallow depth (3.1 miles) hence why it rocked your world! But at Douglas Adams would say "Don't Panic!"

Montreal had a 5.0 earthquake? Wow! I was up there at the end of May, so I guess I dodged that bullet. LOL

I totally realize that 3.6 is teeny tiny compared with what the West coast gets, but it was huge for us. :) Now I can check it off of my list of natural disasters I've lived through. LMAO.
