My cousin felt it all the way over in Youngstown, OH.  Hope no one was seriously hurt.

My Gma lives in Newton Falls right next to Youngstown. I'll have to call her!

How cool.   We lived in newton falls for three years.   Coolest zip code ever

 :rollin  I always tell people "My grandparents live in Newton Falls, home of zip code 44444". I love the big billboard they have, if its still there.

I called her to find out if she felt it. She was in town getting her hair cut so she didn't. But when she got home, my gpa told her he was on the toilet and it started shaking. I then asked if he got splashed  :lol he didn't

 :rollin

yeah, you know a town is small when its claim to fame is its zip code  :lol

That's wrong on so many levels..... :rollin

A lot of folks don't realize that the potential for severe earthquakes exists about everywhere.  Us on the pacific rim are just more active.  Like my buddy Lonestar, us Cali folks are used to them to a degree... but when you get woken up at 2am with everything rocking and rolling you'll tend to piss yourself.. :lol

Funny you mention this, just had a 3.8 by Oakland, about ten miles west of where I live, didn't even feel it. :hat
