Felt it here at Michigan and Washington Blvd. That was interesting.

I'm on the 7th floor on Canfield next to the DMC. I just felt the building move, and afterwards the fluorescent lights in my office were swinging.

I felt it. Scary. I hope this isn't getting to be a regular thing. The last one we had wasn't that long ago.

**guito13** · August-23-11, 01:09 PM

Felt it here in the ren cen, entire floor stood up at once!

**iheartthed** · August-23-11, 01:10 PM

7 earthquakes in Colorado this morning too.

This is the sign! The Mayan Apocalypse is coming? The end of Ka-tun is upon this planet after 2012 the Earth will take off its living clothes and take a cosmic bath. She will wash our troubles out to the cosmos forever!

**old guy** · August-23-11, 01:47 PM

Should I take that as good news or bad news Danny?

**redjan** · August-23-11, 01:50 PM

We felt it very strongly here in DC. Some of the buildings on our campus are being evacuated.

What about the other 40 earthquakes we have daily?

**Lowell** · August-23-11, 01:56 PM

Watch them all here... http://www.iris.edu/seismon/

**animatedmartian** · August-23-11, 02:10 PM

That freep story incorrectly states that the quake was 3 miles deep. Exaggeration just a tad bit, no?

**Bigb23** · August-23-11, 03:00 PM

Now we get the wild hysteria on the evening news cycle. They will interview people on the street, who didn't feel a thing, and try to film fallen bottles of shampoo in the tub.
That will be the first ten minutes at the top of every hour for the next few days.
I didn't feel a thing.

**Magnatomicflux** · August-23-11, 03:09 PM

Hmmmm..........wonder if this is connected to the HUM!!!!!!!!

I didn't feel anything, and my building was built in the late 20's. But someone I work with said it woke him up from a nap.

**rb336** · August-23-11, 03:10 PM

I have people in my building - a two-story - claiming they felt it -- I don't buy it. A tall building, sure. not this one though

**Islandman** · August-23-11, 03:12 PM

Definitely felt at the DTE campus downtown; freaked some people out.

I was talking to my sister while it was happening and we both felt it at the same time. I was on the 15th floor of a tower in Manhattan and she was on the ground level of a three story building in Southfield.

I didn't feel it, but when I get home I'm going to stand on one foot and have my wife push me into the wall.
Tomorrow I can tell people I felt one of the aftershocks.

I just hope my wife isn't pissed off at me about something.
