U.S. East coast quake - Everybody OK?
Carol Haynes:
UK Geological Survey picked up the tremor on the opposite side of the Atlantic!

mrainey:
Some interesting statistics about frequency of earthquake occurrence around the world.
Apparently there are about four quakes a day of magnitude five or greater. And, those are the ones they know about.

Mouser... Calling Mouser... Come in, Mouser :o
Seems our industrious leader is in Indiana, which isn't exactly epicenter, but I saw the maps and the shockwave went pretty far...
@mrainey & Cyberdiva: Glad to hear it didn't hit you guys too hard.
I wonder if there's an easy way to look up DC members by geographical area...
@Deozaan: Aw, dude sorry about the damage, that's gonna set you back a few, eh?
On second thought, don't worry, it'll buff out. :Thmbsup:
@Carol: Hard to tell by the squiggles how powerful it was (doesn't look like much), but did anyone over there report anything?
China rattling?
Pets hiding?
That'd be pretty far out if it did.

No - not strong enough in the UK to feel it but it is interesting to see the seismographs picked it up over 2000 miles away!
I'd guess it would be less that a 1 magnitude on the graph. I have seem a 4 magnitude and the wave amplitude overlaps about five rows!
