Earthquake in Philadelphia - Folks, We're Okay!
We had an earthquake today. Philly. Yes, as in Philadelphia, PA.
Sigh. I missed feeling it - noticing it anyway because I stepped out of the room. Darn. I had to miss it. Maybe next time?
I remember the one we had in 2001, which was known as the "Rattle in Seattle," which was something like a 6.7 or thereabouts. For some reason, I could NOT stop singing "Shake Rattle and Roll," for the rest of the day.
Know what, I sometimes have this silly regret as you had when you missed experiencing an earthquake. I slept through the recent earthquake. I'm happy that I wasn't hurt but when exchanging quake stories (a good bonding activity for me) with friends afterwards left me just listening. :)
Thanks, Miladyblue, Tracy India, and Niel, for sharing your earthquake stories.
"Shake Rattle and Roll" seems like a perfect song to go with an earthquake, Miladyblue. Good backdrop song. I was mentally singing something to my cat - lol - as if that would sooth him when I was away.
Tracy India, Philly las had an earthquake(s) before, but it's been like 100 years or something like that. Ours yesterday was 5.8. And I missed it. Pout.
Niel, that was my sentiment, too. Can't comment when everyone else has a story or stories. But I'd rather that slight disappointment than to have been hurt. Or to have had others hurt. Pout receding ;-D

Wow! I didn't know Philly had earthquakes. I'm in California so it's obviously the norm here but...wow. I'm glad everyone is ok.
Good to know you are okay!

We felt the tremors here in NYC. I was at work. The quake hit in VA at 5.9 and was felt from NC to MA. Glad it wasn't stronger here
Glad to read you're okay, Dollz4Moi! I missed feeling it by being one room OUT of range.
