Default Who felt the earthquake?

I'd rather be at the track than on the top floor of an office building.

I just heard about it here in SE PA. I can't say I felt it but others have said they did.

It shook the DC area strongly. The house was moving quite a bit, and we are around 90 miles from the epicenter.
Very obvious build-up from a faint rumble to a load roar then back down. Largest quake around here for a long time.

I felt it north of Charlotte, NC. Just a little shake down here, but my dogs did not like it at all....

Mike,

I heard that AWE actually caused the quake with your last dyno pull?

Damn I did not hear it this time, I guess I heard the last one because it was 5am and nobody else was in the office
