BREAKING NEWS: 5.8 Magnitude Earthquake in Virginia

I was at 40000 FT between Salt Lake and Frisco. I felt...nothing.

Felt NOTHING in my building, but it's only 1 story.

My wife felt a little bit in her office, but she just thought somebody bumped the filing cabinet she was working in.

My neighbor was taking a test at nursing school, but she thought the student behind her nervously kicked her chair.

So, barely noticeable in my part of north Jersey.

Did someone say Magnitude?

It's the not so big one 'Lizabeth!!!!!

AND THUS WAS IT PROVEN

Shakeweights had to be good for something, after all

Turns out it was starting earthquakes.

I'd rep that, if I could.

Just NOW?

They just got back. They were busy.

Going around the country voting for Democrats.

"!"

Actually, I think that was a poltergeist, man.

Terrible......my heart goes out for these people.
Check out 7 and 14......if you dare.

(That's number 5.)

Earthquakes...poltergeists....both will get your heart pumping.

Glad I got out of NYC before they shut down JFK. Jeez, if California shut down our airports every time we had an earthquake we'd get nothing done.

Pretty amazing, considering they're all buried in different places.

Don't spread this around, but we're kinda badasses.

Also, lovely year-round weather helps.

I didn't feel the aftershock, either.

Earthquakes tend to be mild and usually end before you're sure they're even happening.

If the "big one" ever hits there's nothing you could do anyway. Kinda tough to run outside, stand in a doorway, hide under a desk, or duck under a table when you can't move in any meaningful way, let alone walk. And even if you could it's doubtful any desk, table, or doorway would make a difference.

You just suck it up and get on with your life. Unlike hurricanes or tornadoes, earthquakes aren't seasonal and you can usually get by about 20 years in between big shakers.

If it gently rolls or bangs a little, you keep doing whatever you were doing and ignore it. If shit starts flying off the shelves and you can't stand up, get under a table and enjoy the ride cause there ain't a damn thing you can do about it until it's over.

I missed the earthquake worrying about the hurricane...

You get used to it. I hardly notice most of them now. Pretty much anything less than a 4.

Ah, Magnitude. Greendale's secret weapon.

Ha! Yeah there's probably more than a few folks sitting around fearing a random swacking. Though I'd say most folks don't think about earthquakes at all let alone some sort of seismic swacking.

You can run, butchu sho' can't hide.

See, now, tornadoes scare the bejeebers out of me, and you couldn't pay me to live anywhere they're a fact of life.
