I felt it pretty well in Portland. Had to go outside with my bedhead.

It shook so bad it woke me up. I could hardly stand up.....I was half asleep so it took a bit for me to regester what was happening =)

Yea, i was in the lunchroom at school today.. it was hillarious. Girls were doing their girly thing, then people started cheering. It was odd. Didn't feel all that strong though.. I thought these sophomore kids at the end were just pounding on the table as usual, then i looked over on the stage, mebe the band was playing behind the curtian *shrug*. Then they called us all outside so we stood there in the cold for about 20 minutes.

I got to work and they said it was pretty bad though. Right now i'm watching/listening to that neat live streaming TV on channel 5.. on nifty DSL..

So the official news is 6.8, for most of the day they've been talking about it being a 7.0. Oh well, it's 30 miles down and they felt it in Utah..

How fun, we needed something like this

Yeah, some people here in Eugene felt it...I didn't but others have heard other companies down here felt it and others here say their wives felt it at their homes. A few of my friends working up there in the suburbs got off work today

Looks like Seattle took the bulk of it. I think Real Networks is shut down completely.

Also the Phoenix Underground(Local night club) collapsed into the ground. Guess I won't be going there this weekend.
Dammit!

I was in second grade when the '89 Loma Prieta hit the SF Bay Area. I was in an afterschool program in Oakland, and it shook us up pretty bad. Earthquakes suck.

it was like standing on top of water, it just kind of swayed back and fourth....low frequency and all...

i live up in bc, the okanagan to be exact, and they kicked us out of school at 11 or so. then let us back in. everyone was wondering why are we freezing outside. then half an hour later they told us it was an earthquake. i didnt feel anything. i think it was a lie just to check our lockers for drugs or something.

So there I was. In my class drinking my 16oz. quad shot mocha when it hit. At first I thought it was my drink, then I realized it was a quake.

Well on the news here the scale for the quake jumped all over the place. Originally it was a 6.5 then I saw 7.2, now, they have left it at 6.8 last I checked.

Washington is full of surprises. If I'm not mistaken, we are also the number one place in America to get bombed on top of some expected 9.0 earthquake.

P.S. Looking forward to some after shocks.

F@cking earth quakes. Always messing up my day.

Yep. Felt it. I was at school in my BORING digital art class...I accidentally signed up for INTRODUCTORY PHOTOSHOP instead of advanced.... (!!!) So, anyway, there we were, sitting in front of our crappy old Macs, and doesn't the room start shaking?! We all had to stand outside for half an hour, clogging up the road outside the school. Yay. Heard it was really bad in Seattle, though. I hope it isn't the start of a trend.

Boeing is the big target in Washington, followed by Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, McChord AFB, I believe Bangor Submarine base, and Fort Lewis. Used to be that Fairchild AFB was high on the list due to the always on alert nuclear B-52's that used to fly outta there. But alas, Spokane is now apparently safe since the 52's left.

Hmmmmm..... I live in Norway, and didn't feel a thing. Weired. Anyway, hope the space needle still is standing. Have plans seeing it this summer!"

Hahahahaha... ok guys, I live in El Salvador and lived a 7.6 richter with epicenter in the sea, and two 6.+ with epicenter under the city I live in. Had one very similar to that when I was 4 years old. And we actually had another quake that same day of the quake in Seattle... Lucky country this is!:s
