[tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
True story: So, I'm in the NYU library talking to the reference librarian and one of the security guards comes over and tells us The building is being evacuated, you have to leave. I looked at the librarian and she at me and we clearly didn't know why. The librarian told the guard There's no alarms going off, why should we leave? The guard said The alarms will go off shortly but you have to leave now. The guard didn't offer any additional information. Well, after 9/11, if someone tells me to get out of a building, I'm going to get. It was several minutes after I left the library that I hears about the earthquake. Neither I nor the librarian felt anything. The library building is about 50 years old and I assumed was somewhat earthquake resistant but better safe than sorry. So, what are other Tipster's stories? -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

Nothing up here that I felt, but we are a good 200 miles north of NY. But when I heard I tried to find where fault lines ran as I do not recall an earthquake ever in Virginia.

Re: [tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
I live in Fredericksburg, VA, close to the epicenter. My car has lots of warning lights and this morning the Check Tire Pressure light came on (this is relevant to the story). At the time of the quake I was in the car going to the grocery store and the car started acting funny - like it was losing tracking. I thought that I'd better get the tires checked and proceeded to the store. As I was walking into the store I noticed a lot of people standing on the sidewalk outside the store and wondered what was going on. As a passed on of the cars in the parking lot, an elderly woman called out to be and said that she was sitting in the car waiting for her husband, and all of a sudden the car started rocking back and forth. She asked if I knew why that would happen and, of course said no. I shopped, checked out, got back in my car and the radio was talking about the quake. At that time there were reports that the epicenter was in Richmond, Caroline County, Fredericksburg, and Ashburn, VA. The pentagon was evacuated (would have loved to see that) and Germanna CC where I teach, and NOVA CC north of me have both closed for the day. And I still don't know what all the fuss was about.

RE: [tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
I was in the home of a colleague; we were preparing for the new semester with an all day retreat for a committee. As the event happened we thought it was an out of balance washing machine shaking the house. Our host was a little upset at the possibility as the washing machine was not supposed to be in use. I should have checked the mountain on my way home to make sure that Falwell's University is still standing. This is the second earthquake that I have experienced in Lynchubrg. The other was much milder and centered on a fault that is closer to us. Dennis -- Dennis M. Goff Charles A.

RE: [tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
I have only one word for you folks on the east coast: WIMPS! LOL! I think it is wise to evacuate ANY building that is not constructed to earth-quake code; although here is the down side: if the falls, it falls on you. Or if some small pieces break off and fall, they fall on you ;) Sway is good: it means the building is moving with the quake. But still, things get dislodged and get tossed around. I remember after one of the bigger quakes, I left my second story apartment because it was swaying REAL good--a MUCH older building--and when I went back in stuff that had fallen out of my medicine chest had turned the handle on the faucet. What a mess. I was just getting ready to make breakfast and had scrambled eggs on the floor of the kitchen from that one as well. You get (sort of) used to it. I'm waiting for the big one to hit that fault that runs from Chicago to St. Louis. When some of those large skycrapers in Chicago start to topple, that will be interesting ;) Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
