Augie Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 About an hour West of Philly. I would not have guessed that! I drove back to school in Cincy one time and got there a couple hours after the "big quake". I'm sorry I missed that. I want no part of the "BIG QUAKE" when it hits out west.

/dev/null Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 We had a 2.3 earthquake today which doesn't happen very often. The was one when I was on grade school, but I don't remember it. This is the first one I ever felt and heard. I can't imagine being in a serious one. About an hour West of Philly. I would not have guessed that! I drove back to school in Cincy one time and got there a couple hours after the "big quake". I'm sorry I missed that. I want no part of the "BIG QUAKE" when it hits out west. Neither a nor 2.3 or 9.3 earth quake will kill you. Structures collapsing because they were not built to withstand an earth quake will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
