WE WILL REBUILD

Hope this hasn't been posted...too lazy to check.

 

Loving the pictures.

 

We seem to seldom get minor earthquakes here too, maybe about twice a year (based on recent years) and the 5 mark on the scale, but I can see why you'd freak out if you were used to them, easily.

Hahahahahaha :wacky:

 

That's the sort of joke that I love. :awesome:

It's all relative, of course.

 

Apparently people in California said the same thing... one even tweeted "My phone's vibrate setting is stronger than that." :lol:

 

But considering that pretty much never happens on the East Coast (the last one like that was something like 70 years ago), most people have never experienced anything like that. People close to the epicenter were like what da fuh...

 

There was a scientist on the news last night explaining the difference between East Coast and West Coast earthquakes, it was really interesting! There's a whole bunch of little plates on the West Coast, so when there's an earthquake it dissipates into all of the little plates. On the East Coast, it's one huge plate so when the whole thing shifts, that's why people from so far away can feel it. Not to mention most buildings on the East Coast aren't built to handle earthquakes. If it had been much stronger, lots of buildings probably would have crumbled to the ground (according to that scientist).

 

i learned in geology that the rocks on the west coast are also not able to transmit waves as well because of their age, whereas the rocks on the east coast are different and better for it or something

 

lol i fell asleep during that lecture lol

 

If only I weren't on my phone, I'd post a BRILLIANT photo of a man twirling his jousts he in some effort to match the BRILLIANCE of this picture. Brilliant.

How in the world is that even remotely funny? Because of the sarcasm? It's pretty bad.
