There were reports of people feeling shaking around this area. I am guessing it was just gas from lunch.

I was at work at everyone was asking if I felt it.

I had no clue what they were talking about tho. So I guess I missed the earthquake.


Any reports of damage or anything?

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

According to county officials, there have been no calls to the Monroe County 911 center for structural damage or injury as a result of the quake.

Below are pictures someone took of damage that a house suffered because of the quake:

Hey,

First time I've ever felt an earthquake that's for sure! Was at school and the building was shaking like crazy. I don't think there was any damage but all our cell phones stopped working for about 25 mins.

I'm not aware of any damage here at work. I will have to wait till I get home to inspect the house. I was rocking around in my chair for a bunch of seconds. My first thought was not an earthquake. I thought I was having some sort of episode. Sucks getting old. LOL

Didn't notice it here (southeast Pennsylvania). I do remember an earthquake in New England back in '82 or thereabouts. The house vibrated momentarily like a heavily loaded tractor trailer had just driven over an expansion joint.
Namaste,
Morty -_-

I hear that a 5.5 will make all of your razors dull.

It was felt in Whitefield, NH where my company's main office is. Those inside at the time said the building shook.

I remember being younger and in the Army, we were passing thru Ft Ord on our way into Latin America(again), we were standing in formation getting the latest crap from the rumor mill when I felt a little wobbly, we all looked at each other oddly and thought it was due to the celebrations the night before, only later did we find out that there had been a quake in Coalinga, CA not too far away.
