Fucking earthquakes, how do they work?

Well, a few hours ago, an earthquake stuck in Virginia. It registered at a 5.8, the largest that region has experienced since the 1800s.
Good news is that only minor damage occurred at the epicenter and no injuries/deaths were reported.

In my house, I could easily feel it and a few things rattled. So everything is ok 'n stuff.

Shit rattled here as well. It was kind of freaky.
I thought a dump truck or bulldozer was outside our house..

But it was definitely weird.

It was here as well, but I was just waking up around the time so I was tired and confused lmao.
Was odd, but felt one before too.

Since I'm on vacation in Ecuador, I didn't got a chance to feel the earthquake in New York, but I heard my mom talking with my dad on the phone, and he said that he felt the earthquake. The East Coast Rarely gets earthquakes but it just surprised me that this happened. I went to msn.com, looked at the report and looked at one of the comments and there was one that made me lol: Greetings from California, welcome to our world! I'm a little bit scared to go back but like you said: Fucking earthquakes, how do they work?

I was in a 6.7 Earthquake here. A vass fell and that was it. I had a fear of my spongebob video game because it happened instantly after I pressed "x" on the controller.

I didn't feel a thing and I live in CT :(

Geologists say that the plates in the east cause the earthquakes to amplify and stretch along the way. It even reached to some in Ontario.

I had a fear of playing my Spongebob video game for awhile on my PS2 because it happened just as I pressed 'X' on the controller.

I know it's not supposed to be funny but LOL!!!!
What are the chances of that "X".

I think if I were you, I'd be scared of the controller in general :(

Yes and the carpet in my fucking room has been here since I was 8 and it HAS STAINS EVERYWHERE. We had the carpet in the rest of the house replaced multiple times. One time in the living room because I was being a pyrotechnic and burnt some of it. Second was ruined by stains. And my mom and dad finally gave up and decided to get brownish carpet which has no stains. But it's really soft and warm.
