Just wondering;

Did any of you feel any tremors from quake that originated Near DC at where your located?
I myself felt it slightly at where I am about 2 hours north west of NYC.

I'm just glad most people are ok.
I come from a very seismic country and I know people can get scared even with minor shakes.

Funny how some turn this into a contest... I've been having earthquakes since the year I was born and I still see people affected when one comes.

We barely get earthqukes because we're not near an active fault line (or so we thought until now)

We never get hurricanes higher than a Cat1 (which are rare themselves) because the water is too cold

The mountains protect us from tornadoes (well at least for me because I live on Boynton Hill in Worcester)

Our blizzards aren't bad because we are pretty far south by Canadian and Mainiac standards

NE is the perfect place to live :D




San Diego FTW....!!!! Hey man with that Current Storm is nearing a Low Pressure system By New England! so it could be a Cat 2-4 and head inland and retain its strength .


On a Side note best place to be in when a earthquake happens is in a Car away from any tall buildings.... Or when your driving while one happens either pull over or Drive with the earthquake... slowly turning your tires with the shake...

Not really. The best place always depends on the intensity of the earthquake and what you have available.
Highways and Bridges tend to collapse and if you are in your car you can get seriously injured. In a car is harder to feel the shake, so it can catch you off guard... I've seen it happen.

Lol.........

Go to new Brunswick when a hurricane hits, they get nailed NE coast = BAD PLACE TO LIVE


Yeah.. but that's New Brunswick... not even people from New Brunswick like New Brunswick


Acadia beats US as far as flag display goes.

You ever been there at all?

Actually the low pressure going up north is the reason the hurricane will be able to make landfall. otherwise it would have held the jetstream there, and the hurricane would have been catapulted mid-atlantic.

I'd very much like to know where your idea came from lol.




Also, most Canada's hurricane landfall are in Nova Scotia, not New Brunswick.

Yes, WPI has been spamming our school e-mail boxes with hurricane crap.. honestly.. the water here is too cold and campus is 2 hours inland... not going to affect us much...
