Earthquakes!

Not the drink but aptly named.  For all our east coast players, at least they are over very fast :) and they are kinda of thrilling once the after shocks are over.  Loved hearing no serious injuries or loss of life.

  • Perhaps this would be better suited in the Off Topic forum?

  • Yep I think so too.

  • Actually this forum is also supposed to be for things of strong interest to the players. As long as this is a major issue, it probably will stay where it is. 

    My uncle lives in Lynchburg, VA. :(

  • Actually, that's not true. It's for game-related things. 

    Off-topic is for off-topic things. This is off-topic, as it isn't related to the game.

    ETA: sorry about your uncle, fokian :/

  • I'll try to find a public posting by stoot or a dev about the use of this sub-forum. I have had private conversations, but nothing I can link to.

  • I'm in DC, on to top floor of an apartment building.  It was scary!  The whole building shook and swayed. Our stuff fell down and broke, my husband's big TV fell almost on me.  I hid in a door way until it was over, then I grabbed my pets and ran out side. 

    We had to wait until the firemen told us the building was alright before we could go back in.

    The strangest thing is that my tortoise was freaking out before it happened.  We are from Ohio and she reacts just like that to tornados. I actually looked out the window for bad weather!

    My husband is working at the Pentagon today and I haven't been able to get ahold of him. The cell phones are completely overwhelmed.  Rush hour here is going to be crazy. The metro trains are moving slow because the tracks and tunnels must be checked and the highways are slow because the bridges are being checked.

  • Cupcake, can you please point me to the posts describing the rules for each sub-forum? I would really like a handy reference. Thank you!

  • Here's what stoot said

    Topics that don't have to do specifically with Glitch will be moved to Off Topic from this point on (along with new group announcements and other stuff not of "General" interest).

    If new group announcements belong in the Off Topic forum, I suspect chit-chat about real-world events belongs there too.

  • Good find, @WindBorn. I had that mixed around in my own head. But you know that since this thread now has discussion about Glitch policy... :p
