I felt it in Raleigh. I was on a ladder putting a light fixture back together. I thought damn a tremor. :roll: All the teachers went nuts calling everyone and going online to see what happened.

I started a new job in Richmond this week. The whole office building was shaking. I'm guessing I'll remember my week on the job.

Didn't feel a thing out here near RDU oddly enough.


I thought it was an older airliner taking off. DC-9 make a hell of a racket! Our building shakes and quakes in a stiff breeze so the movement didn't startle me. It wasn't until Rebecca called to ask if I felt that I realized what happened.

Hey Michael, congrats on the new job! Saw the update on LinkedIn. So, no more THSCC autox for you? NCCAR is next, you can make that one!

I'll still make some autocrosses once home life settles down with our 8 week old son. I'm signed up for the VIRF event in September. You guys can't get rid of me that easily!

Rodney, It wasnt an earthquake, it was the stockmarket crashing due to the national dept.
