I felt noting in Hartford, but I was driving in the car.
WARNING!!!! Graphic earthquake damage pictured below, close this thread is you're sensitive to such things!!!!
NASA provided one picture of the damage shortly after the event....
It's pretty disturbing...
(I hope non-facebook users can see it)
Friggen hilarious! :lol:
I was in Marlboro, MA - I didn't feel anything.
That said, I just started a new job, and the power went out briefly at our place - we are in a datacenter. We have a colo facility in Virginia and the server guy called and was telling us the floor tiles were flying through the air and all the racks were swaying back and forth, but no damage. Whew!

Felt a little rumble here. I honestly had mistaken it for a big truck driving by.
A slide show of the most severe damage:

From watching the local CT news last night I thought they were going to stay live all night talking to all the people that felt a slight shake and how it affected their lives....

Felt it in the tower in Springfield MA. At first I thought someone was messing with my chair and then I saw the wall swaying.....FREAKY!

An earthquake on what is otherwise a relatively SLOW news day will add to the drama factor in a big way

kind of like how we go on for days about an inch or 2 of snow ;-)
Or a huricane that's days away....

I'm thinking that the bread aisle, the bottled water aisle and the battery section will be empty already!
Unless one has a boat in the water, it's still a bit early to freakout. A little mental planning, okay. But hoarding groceries is a bit of overkill right now!!

people in California are laughing... I can hear them
Up here, yeah. I heard from Californians living in the DC area that it was the real deal there. But still it's kinda like when DC gets snow storm. I guess Libya and the stock market going up 300pts yesterday wasn't enough news.

The Red Cross sent me an email making sure I was prepared in the event of an earthquake.
I thought it was nice of them to be concerned.
