No shit..We just felt it here in CT....Holy crap that was weird..

I just felt it on Long Island

I felt it . Shit was swinging here.

Philadelphia here.

That was amazing.:eek1

I thought so! I'm here workin on my bike & I felt things wobbling. I thought I had just taken too many deep puffs on my cigar, but then I saw the moving a little, too.

i just feel it here by the lincoln, was at a traffic light and car was moving and though to myself, tham that wind is sure picking up

Had all kinds of people fleeing the buillding.

Felt it in the plant here in Lakewood, NJ.

I thought it was just me being dizzy..for some unknown reason, until I hear the plants guys mention the production equipment was shaking.

Holy Shit! We just felt it here in NH! I have never felt an eathquake before, and thought I was imagining it, but the water in my turtle tank was waving back and forth. What a strange sensation. :eek1

My friend in Toronto just wrote to me that he felt it. My sister out in Vermont reports that they felt it out there as well. Pretty far reaching.

Maybe the Mayans were on to something?

We felt it at the office here in Woodcliff Lake, NJ. Most of us assumed that a truck had backed into the building or something.

I was out riding. I missed it.

Building shook pretty good in Boston, enough to get the floor to evacuate. The rest of the suits were out looking up at the building holding their briefcases, I had my helmet

SE Virginia

It turns out you don't feel an earthquake while riding a thumper.

I rounded the corner getting back to work and everyone was coming out of the building.

i was ready to go down and go for a ride.....earthquake is just a reason to be out of the building...

on the side note...everyone is fine...thats good

Missed it also.

Here in Cherry Hill, our office building was shaking...it felt more like swaying. Freaky and cool all at the same time.

.

Felt it in Wellsboro, PA

I was on the bike and it scared the shit out of me. It felt like I hit a patch of mud, except I was on pavement.

Yeah I was wondering what it would have felt like. Sounds about right too. Glad you handled it ok.

just stand on the pegs. steer with your feet. head up. eyes forward picking your line. just like riding, well, just like riding in the mud!
