Title: Earthquake on the Eastern USA
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on August 23, 2011, 11:51:41 AM
Whoa!  I totally felt it.
CNN says it's 5.8 on the Richter (heh heh) scale.
Hit Washington DC but was felt up here in NJ and even in upstate NY.

I think these quakes are the beginnings of something bigger. And when I mean bigger I mean the rising of Atlantis. Edgar Cayce did warn us to "Watch New York" carefully from this point onward as it would most likely be the first of many places hit. It's like that quake that recently hit Japan. The Pacific plate (Also known as Lemuria) is also on the move.

Didn't really feel it, but I think I may have been in a NYC subway at the time.

Yesterday, at 08:00 AM here, a 4.4 Richter scale earthquake strikes the west Borneo/Kalimantan province, which is a VERY rare phenomena.

I wonder if it has any connection to this or just a mere coincidence.

Don't you mean Irene? Better watch out because within a week there might be a Jose. Trust me, I've lived through my fair share of hurricanes, it's a scary experience, and down here it gets hot as hell after they pass, couple that with no power for days (sometimes weeks if the storms bad), and you have one miserable experience.

Yea, it's Irene... I here it's projected to hit the north side bad. But it could always change direction and screw the south or mid-eastern.

Yeah, Hurricane Irene. T_T

It might change direction? :o That's good for me, but not so good for the people it'll hit instead. ;-;

Yeah we're bracing for Irene in the Northeast.

There was also a Quake in Peru a few days ago. 6.something on the Richter scale.

Heading out to work soon. But I don't think the worst of it will hit us til I go home.

I believe I see dry air entraining on the right side of the storm, if form holds true this weakens hurricanes. We went through the same thing in 2002 with a 150 MPH monster named Lilli, but dry air knocked her down to 90 MPH before she made landfall. Had she not weakened things could've been far worse here, as it is cleanup was messy for weeks after.

True. Unlike a Tornado which can appear almost anywhere, a Hurricane is dependent on cool ocean currents. But once it makes landfall it starts to die unless it turns back out over the ocean again to regain its strength.

I'm used to these things, but this sucker just refuses to hurry out, he decided to stall out along the coastline (about 20 miles offshore). It did drop a tornado about 5-7 miles southwest of me just minutes ago, these storms drop tornadoes like crazy.

Finally after 4 days of yuck weather, and an indecisive storm, it's looking like Lee will finally move out, should be a nice Labor Day that I'll have to work.

I guess they don't call it Labor Day for nothing. :P
