Title: Earthquake Near Youngstown
Post by: jay on March 17, 2011, 10:01:27 PM
I've had four people tell me they felt the earth shake this morning in Youngstown.
Did anyone of the Forum feel it?  What was it like?

My wife and I felt it here on the Northside, it is also all over the news.  It felt like something fell on the house and I felt the vibration.  I have been in a 7 earthquake in Asia and this one in Youngstown was brief and a jolt, not like what I remember they feel like.

If we had a 2.6 earthquake today could the next be the big one?

I heard it, but didn't feel it.  I thought a neighbor slammed a door, or something.

I wonder what the cause of it was.  I know that this part of the plate is still rebounding from the weight of the glaciers during the last ice age.  This is why Lake Erie keeps getting shallower.

See Dennis, not so dumb after all! Did you know about this phenomenon?

Its OK to be a liberal when you are young, but once you get out into the workforce and start building some personal wealth people usually becomes more conservative.   Unless of course you are in one of the sheltered occupations such as academia or a member of a union.

I am not a member of any union, and do not work within academia, yet my leanings remain--generally--quite liberal.

BTW, I have not turned into an iwasthere follower and foregone the use of capitals.  There is something stuck under my shift key making it difficult to capitalize sometimes. Probably cat fur.

The keys on some keyboards are easy to pop off.
