1225391 2011-08-23 22:40:00 Shook the Whitehouse as well from reports we got here ... The Pres is OK though ... he's at Martha's place for a bit of slap 'n' tickle ... :D SP8's (9836)
1225392 2011-08-23 23:42:00 88 miles away from Washington DC is a fair distance but it sounds like they still got a fairly decent shake. Battleneter2 (9361)
1225393 2011-08-23 23:47:00 That whole area is on just one tectonic plate, so if it shakes in NYC, it shakes in Georgia. SurferJoe46 (51)

1225397 2011-08-24 02:49:00 What about the 6.00 in Sumartra today's The Press.

That's closer than Washington DC, anyway they do need a b l o o d y shake-up as someone has already stated.

Just been on skype to daughter, she was driving on the InterState between Baltimore MD and Morgantown WV so she didn't feel it. Her hubby was evacuated along with others from Morgantown Uniiversity in WV. There was no damage reported there.
