"A seismic event"

posted by [personal profile] eftychia at 10:21am on 2005-02-23

There was an earthquake in Baltimore this morning.

Within the past hour, according to the news crawl. The ground shook for several seconds.

But apparently it didn't shake very hard. It wasn't perceptible at my house. (I was awake.) I guess if I'm near a television at noon I'll find out where it was felt and whether it caused any damage. No injuries reported according to the crawl.

But this does seem like an opportune time to invite one of my friends to mention the earthquake that struck at a particularly story-worthy moment for her. (I slept through that one and found out about it later -- from that friend, I think. And I've been amused ever since.)

I didn't notice it from over here -- but this reminds me of when I was a kid and there was a minor quake where I lived. We realized it was real when my dad rolled over in bed and the bed wasn't there; he hit the floor and woke up and the house was still moving a little.

Actually, I'm surprised that I didn't feel it, as I tend to notice these things.

Apparently it was in the Chesapeake Bay.

Thanks! I did miss the noon news and hadn't yet gotten around to asking Google.

I'm sorry, My brain throws gutter balls on the phrase. It takes a 2nd round to get to the science part. :-)

since you ask so nicely -- during the first earthquake to hit the DC area in 50 years, i was losing my virginity in the front seat of a Volkswagen. i heard something, but i thought it was a car passing.

i did not, however, feel the earth move.

Really good timing, that. Cute story.

The punchline makes that. Thanks for sharing.
