Man speed that must have felt weird to you. I lived in Los angeles for 8 years and way too many earthquakes.

Did you know that New York was hit in the 1700'sw and the 1800's with earthquakes. Then imagine yellowstone national park is a dormant volcano. We are living on a giant tetonicplate that will screw us up big time if it shifts like it has done for millions of years. We are long over due for a massive grab the fuck on and hold for dear life jolt!

I've seen that Yellowstone deal on National Geographic or Discovery I can't remember which , anyhow that's one geographically huge crater......If that bastard goes up we all are going to turn to glass. The last big quake around this area was in 1811 { New Madrid } Northeastern Missouri. The only reason it wasn't catastrophic { Buildings} is because most still had log cabins , from what I've read it sent the Mississippi backwards and had the bells tolling in Boston.....incidentally nobody was pulling the rope. I hope that fucker doesn't decide to rip apart....that's the first thing I thought of when I heard the report.

We had an earthquake up here 7 or 8 years ago. Woke me up early one morning in (I think) April. The epicenter was across the lake in upstate NY, where the quake was severe enough to crack some houses' foundations and cause part of a road to collapse. In Burlington it just vibrated us a bit -- sounded like a snowplow coming down the street, except there was no snow, and the whole house was shaking. No damage aside from some stuff knocked off of shelves.

Really weird feeling though.
