News US EAST Coast Earthquake

[Linguofreak]

A distinct shake here in Philadelphia too ... not enough to spill my coffee though

Wait... I'm confused. The Orbiter site is hosted in the UK, the flag on your posts says Jamaica, now you're mentioning Philadelphia... Where *do* you live?

Strangely enough, the largest recorded earthquakes on the eastern seaboard were 100 years ago (1811 & 1812) in Missouri.

Wouldn't 1811 be 200 years ago?

Old plate stretching at work I think. Similar to East Africa before the rift valleys.

Just like snapping your back with those stubborn vertebrae that will not give in except for once in a while.
