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.

EARTHQUAKE! 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. And if you look at the map with earthquake-prone areas it's not a high-risk area, though it looks to this untrained eye that it may be an eastern tip of part of the New Madrid fault? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/22/us-fault-lines-graphic-ea_n_432948.html ========================== John W.

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: ku...@mail.plymouth.edu.
