    Yup, we felt the tremors up here in Connecticut. I wonder how it effected the folks on the trail, I imagine that's an unnerving thing to feel while in the middle of the woods.

    Felt it here in northern NH as well. Fan chains were swinging back and forth, water in glas vibrating. Lasted about a minute or so. Very mild.

    Default earthquake

    We felt it in our home here in Catawba. Some pictures moved on a desk and a mirror on a wall banged a bit. Lasted about 6 seconds.

    A thought ran through my head... "Damn ,I have no beer!"

    Well, I'm thankful there was no spillage!

    Someone here in Cincinnati, OH claims to have felt it but I am skeptical about that claim.
    Seek, and you shall find.

    The Washington Post is blaming the earthquake on the newly found Bush Fault.....

    Earthquakes are another reason hammocks are better.......

    I drink beer in a bottle mostly. Think I will switch to cans. Hate to have an earthquake destroy all my beer.

    house shook for a minute but no apparent damage.

    Gee, I wonder who Faux News and Fred Phelps will blame it on?
    News reporting - another reason it's better to be in a hammock, tent, or even locked in a privy, as long as it's deep in the woods and isolated from news media.
