It sounded like a distant heavy freight train, but with no particular direction. I felt a vibration in my feet--standing on dry sand--and could hear crockery rattling in my friend's house over the phone. I didn't notice any disturbance in the water. Very interesting experience. It lasted about 30 seconds here, but my friend on the phone said it was still moving things there for another 15 seconds or so. No apparent damage here. Carol was in the house and didn't even notice it.          Bill Fosdick - Aug 24,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Guess I get the closest to the epicenter prize on this one, about 2 miles away. All the cupboards and cabinets and shelves emptied themselves onto the floor, pictures and wall hangings as well. A few small foundation cracks but no major damage and no injuries here. It was my first earthquake experience and we have had several more smaller ones/aftershocks since then. It reminded me of being in the Pentagon on 9/11, just 400 ft from the airplane impact. At least the first few seconds. Aircraft, boats and hangar all fared well.          Don Maxwell - Aug 24,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Glad to know you're okay, Bill. I tried to phone you about half an hour after the quake and again a little later, but couldn't get a connection. How's the dam--and the power plant?<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or &gt; missing in user HTML.

I flew over the dam last night and it was still intact and there was a distinct lack of activity so I guess everything is OK with it.          Dennis Vogan - Aug 24,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Don, I know you were thinking it's about time to go through and clean those cupboards out anyway. So you just had a bit of help!. We felt it here too. Tina felt motion sickness in her office!          John Robert Dunlop - Aug 26,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Didn't know anything had happened until I got home from 'the beach'..
