Brad Clayton Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 So I am underneath a Super-Duty today and the thing is shaking all over the place. I immediately think some asshole is jouncing the rear bumper and turn around with attitude only to find no one there. Then I look up at the truck and it's rockin'. Next thing I hear is someone saying "get out from under that truck". The shop was feeling tremors from a frickin' earthquake. I leaned against a wall and rolled with it. It reminded me of the senior master cruise <ah fond memories>. So then my mom calls from Charlotte NC and says guess what, we had an earthquake. It actually moved some furniture in her house. That is a serious span for a quake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next thing I hear is someone saying "get out from under that truck". Same here, but I was in my shop cleaning a connector while standing, heard the bus in my bay squeaking and I thought the same thing. I wasn't in the mood to screw around with anyone so I turned around. THEN I started getting a disoriented feeling and a mild anxiety attack started to kick in. Had no explanation for it then I noticed other employees coming out of the building. They yelled "get out! The building is shaking!" So I did and then realized it was an earthquake. Holy shiz! So everywhere you turn this evening it's the topic. Others say it's no big deal - we're all over-reacting. Well, a 5.9 earthquake on the east coast is a big deal and like myself, most people out here have never experienced one. It reminds you of the tremendous power of nature and the planet. I'll pencil this one in on my bucket list. It's not the kind of thing you go looking for, but I can scratch it off none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 A couple people in the building felt it. I didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
