My co-worker in NH felt it pretty good and described it as a good rolling earthquake.

I wondered what the hell that was - I thought it was a plane breaking the sound barrier lol.

<-- Lives in NH, a long time ago lived in Japan with plenty earthquakes. This earthquake didn’t feel anything like those earthquakes :)

I felt it in NH! I thought it was my stupid neighbor slamming the front door downstairs at first, but then it sort of kept rumbling.

I missed the window to throw down lava font and grant area might. (heyoooo)

Until the inevitable 9.5 eats all of you.

See - now that’s what I would call big! 100,000 times greater than NH “big”! Wimps. ;-)

A 4.5 isn’t an earthquake. It’s a Magic Fingers motel bed massage.

Well, to be honest, a lot depends on proximity. Having been 1 mile from the epicenter of a 4.something I could see the whole house flex with an uncharacteristically sharp jolt. None of this long rolling waves kind of fun. Put some long cracks into the stucco.

lol yeah I lived in a high-rise apartment complex in Tokyo as a kid, and earthquakes were nothing special.

Whoa, 7.7 off the western coast of Canada, near some obscure island. Minor Tsunami chance.

Hawaii seemingly spared the worst from tsunami triggered by 7.7-magnitude quake

Editor's Note: A sizable 7.7-magnitude earthquake in western Canada triggered a tsunami that headed toward Hawaii, prompting evacuations of thousands from coastal areas. Geophysicists had feared waves between 3 and 7 feet to lash the Hawaii islands,...

Alan_Dunkin · 2012-10-28T00:01:23.000Z

Hawaii now not taking any chances; evacuations have been called out for the shallow areas. They’re same some models are predicting one-meter heights; others 2+ meters. It may get kinda nasty in some places.

Got friends coming over since we live up on the hillside. They have evacuated the leeward coast and supposed to hit at 1030. A little over an hour from now.

Obscure island? You sir have insulted us! Duel by pistols at sundown!

Seriously, though, pretty large island, but not densely populated. Didn’t feel a thing here, but I was pretty gassy…

7.3 earthquake some 200+km off the eastern coast of Japan, tsunami warnings issued…

My former roommate, now living in Tokyo, says, “this earthquake is NOT fun! Inside a 33 floor building, just feels like a rocking ship…”

Incendiary_Lemon · 2012-12-07T01:28:35.000Z

Hopefully nothing comes of it. My sister is evacuating right now.

Canuck · 2012-12-07T02:29:14.000Z

It was a long one alright. BT I think everything is fine. There were some small, less than one meter, tsunamis but it’s pretty much finished.

TALK TO ME, SOCAL. TALK TO ME.

BrianRubin · 2013-03-11T10:18:41.000Z

That was FUN! Wheeeeee! Do it again, SoCal! Do it again!

5.1 several miles inland east from Oceanside/Escondido. Felt it around 100 miles away in El Segundo. Good times!

Dave_Markell · 2013-03-11T10:24:42.000Z

How bizarre. I did not feel it at all, and I live in Oceanside about 5 miles east of the Pacific.

Have you seen my wallet?

Gendal · 2013-03-11T11:32:42.000Z

Felt nothing =(

Almost directly west of it on the coast, though that would be further than Oceanside it looks like. Course I have been walking on a treadmill so that would further deaden it.
