Considering there arent too many high rise type buildings and most of them are on a granite or at least a solid foundation i doubt you would have much of a problem, i would be more worried about liquefaction because DC is in a river basin.

Oh it's coming Sunday supposedly, but it still boring. We have them every year. But we also get mega snow storms and earthquakes too, so therefor we are much more awesome. All we need is a few volcanoes and we will be set.

I felt something for about 8 seconds this afternoon, as well.
Turned out it was that cabbage I had for dinner yesterday.

All jokes aside... You guys talking junk about " you guys are overreacting"... just
can it... No one is overreacting... it was cool and we're talking about it... what of it?
It's called relating and sharing a common event in life... It's what we humans do.
It's why you're HERE... You bought a car and wanted to tell the whole WORLD !!!

there are buildings in DC older than the state of california. how well do you think those buildings do in Earthquakes?

pretty sure california was here before those buildings. but it sounds like an a great excuse to do some remodeling :thumbsup:

I was at work on the can taking a dump when it hit. Definitely felt it. I was confused. I though I was going nuts or something until I came out and people were talking about it.
That was my first quake. Thought it felt pretty cool.

Pretty Freaking Cool! First one I ever felt and it was rocking me in my chair here in Columbia MD. Wife is on the 18th floor of a tall building in Baltimore and it was rattling them pretty good. Sister is in NYC and felt it as well.

Certainly anxious to get home and make sure everything is ok. Neighbor stated she had stuff falling from her shelves.
