Right! I am from the East Coast and I live in Los Angeles, and every time it "rains" (which is usually a light mist), people kill each other driving into the central divider on the freeway, the freeways are jammed, and everyone either drives 2 miles per hour or 100 miles per hour.....a mess!
i think it is OK if they wanted to make sure the buildings are safe enough to go in because unless you want pounds of building on you then it was necessary you jack wagon.

Why's everyone hating on this guy? If there's anything we've learned from the Christchurch Earthquakes, it's to stay of the phonelines, it's just common sense. The size of the eqarthquake was relatively small, and quite deep, so it was obvious there wasn't going to be that much damage. It's just America dramatising again, and this man is saying it like it is.

Honestly I was freaked out when the earthquake hit!!! I could feel it and it sounded as if a plane flew right through my house without damaging anything. It was my first earthquake! For some reason I want another one...
@MeganCheng47 Naahhh... Fox wouldn't have anyone that cool working there. Fox sucks and their people are ignorant, uneducated right-wing moronic Repugnicans. They could only wish to have West coasters work there.
Unacesary?!????!!!!! During the earthquake I was living here in Roanoke Va and I was scared and felt something I never felt! I though it was the end of the world because I never exp this kind of thing be4 but it's natural to feel this.... I mean I didn't know it was gonna last so little and a small quake, but during the crisis I'll do what's necessary
LMAO......Every time I see this news guy I think of that mistake he did on the air doing a report on Jennifer Lopez saying ""Jennifer Lopaz,a girl from the Bronx,knows how to give a blow-job better than a,er I mean a nose job...."

UNnecessary!?!!? DUDE we arent used to these earthquakes we shouldnt be even HAVING THEM this bad, it isnt like the west coast, the east coast's structure is younger and thinner so when something like this happens it impacts a LARGE AREA which would cause chaos ugh fox news... XD
@1979ambie the fault lines might be older, but the sediment and layers above them are younger so it creates a wider area of vibration on the eastern seaboard :O
@PinkPenguinLover101@PinkPenguinLover101 They didn't say it was common, they just told everyone that there is no need to panic, and in retrospect they were completely correct. There were no earthquake-related injuries. In fact with fewer cars on the road that day you guys had a record low number of injuries. That day was the SAFEST day you've had in decades! Besides, it doesn't matter how widely felt a 5.9 is because a 5.9 is just a 5.9 and a 5.9 barely damages buildings right above it.
@Aiyiyiyiify yeaah es bueno... well i dont know where u live but it isnt common to have such high magnitude earthquakes here so we didnt overreact we were just concerned and its good they checked it, wouldnt want it collapsing on people XD
@PinkPenguinLover101 You reacted as one unused to earthquakes would understandably react. It was STILL overreacting. You didn't need to shut down traffic. You could've just made a phone call to the west coast and found that there was nothing to worry about.
@PinkPenguinLover101 Like I said, your reaction was COMPLETELY understandable and I respect your reasons for taking precaution. I'm just saying that on the flip side you need to respect the reasons why people living on the west coast and in Mexico (like me) are going to find the whole thing pretty funny. A little good-spirited chortling never hurt anyone; it did open a dialogue between someone living on the east coast and a Belizean living abroad in Mexico.
@Aiyiyiyiify Yea i agree. I live in Georgia, so when it snows (rarely) everyone buys all the bottled water and bread. But i just laugh because i'm from Utah
Here was the collective, best thing to do: stop acting like a prick. I was watching this and was just absolutely put-off by the way he spoke down toward everyone. And, as an emergency responder, I can kinda appreciate the need for people not to freak out...but at the same time, everyone's human. Give the East Coast a semi-major earthquake, and we're gonna react. We don't have those. It's not natural to us. Jeez.
@chrisk84 He's a douchebag for trying to reassure people and make them feel better and less scared? What do you do to other people trying to help? Do you slap away the hand of a firefighter trying to pull you from a burning car?
A large percentage of the buildings on the East Coast are unreinforced masonry buildings, which are not earthquake-proof. Those of you on the West Coast live in buildings that are built to withstand earthquakes, adhering to building codes that did not exist when many of the East Coast buildings were built. Yes, people needed to calm down, but I think the authorities were absolutely right to evacuate buildings until they could determine whether they were structurally sound.
@Katzy27 Making something "earthquake-proof" means building it to withstand 6.5 and such; unless the building is just bad a 5.9 is not going to destroy it. That doesn't mean we don't understand why you would make sure the Washington Monument wasn't cracked, but we're going to find it funny whether or not you have a valid excuse. It's like a guy laughing at his best friend for screaming at the sight of a daddy long legs even though it's definitely not the understanding thing to do.
@Katzy27 it doesnt matter, katzy - people always become instant experts on anything and everything when they judge and scold and criticize. you are absolutely correct about the buildings - the powers that be definitely DO realize, and discuss, the ramifications of what a major seismic event would do to areas in the mid-atlantic and eastern US.
@Katzy27 u would have to agree with you...i have lived on both coasts.(missed my frist earthquake in seattle when i was about 8) the West Coast is used to earthquakes the East Coast is not
Shep Smith showing why he's one FOX news anchor who seems to have a clue. Ironic that the "be afraid, be very afraid" network was the voice of calm in this situation.
@krezzykrezz yes, he is very condescending. I use to watch him before I woke up. I distinctly remember how he was strangley, emphatically, dismissive of that quake.
That was just a taste of what's coming U.S.A.......God's wrath is gonna beat the shit outta you for being so superficial, ignorant and non caring about your own issues, nevermind world ones. I hope the earth swallows you up you selfish assholes!
PART 3.............And lastly, it seems like many people in greater California are talking about this. So here is a FACT; the last time an earthquake of this size hit mainland California was…wait for it…7 years ago. You guys get a much higher number of earthquakes annually, but don’t let it get to your heads. And I know I wrote a ton.
PART 2.......To my knowledge no news coverage ever made it out to the epicenter, so most of you never saw the real damage. Virginia is not unknown to get earthquakes either. I live right under the central Virginia fault zone, which has produced many small earthquakes, the last big one being a 4.5 in 2003. The big Seattle quake of 2001 was 33 MILES deep. The Virginia earthquake was only 3 MILES deep.
PART 1.......The Virginia earthquake was exaggerated in D.C. and new york. However, there still were injuries. At Louisa county high school a teacher and two students were injured. The town of mineral had some significant damage. The significant damage WAS confined to a very small area and many buildings in that area were damaged quite a bit (broken windows, collapsed chimneys, and some homes damaged so much that they were deemed unsafe to live in) My house 30 miles away has some large cracks.
before saying it is unecessary, have your facts straigtened out. people in the east coast dont experience earthquakes as much as japan does. besides look at the date is close to september11, If I would have lived through 911 in NY i would have thought the worse, specially if I was in a building taller than 4 floors.
Actually several schools and buildings were closed due to damage, because unlike the west coast our building structures are not made to with stand an earth quake, So it was kinda a big deal.
@EmmaRella69 The damage that happened to those school was pretty much because they were old and it was incredibly easy to clean up. Nobody got hurt. The average person here on the east was more likely to get killed by a car driving through a building than from something falling during the earthquake. The building code we have here is still good enough to withstand a 5.9. Our buildings didn't hole together with positive thinking; the ground just needs to shake harder.

@EmmaRella69 Those buildings were already dilapidated and easy to clean up. Nobody got hurt. The average person here on the east coast was more likely to get killed by a car driving through a building than by something falling during a 5.9 earthquake. It would be ludicrous for people here to start acting afraid of paved roads.
Completely unnecessary????????? Man, we don´t have earthquakes like that on the East Coast!!!!!. Our bldgs are NOT prepared to sustain earthquakes, and we don´t even know - or knew - how a earthquake feels like. We thought we were being attacked. Seems like he is having fun with something that really scared us. Fox News -- useless news. Too bad people are influenced by this crap.
@akrocin I COMPLETELY agree, we did not over react. This is the first time 98% percent of us have felt an earthquake and with it being so close to September 11th it did scare most people because they don't know what an earthquake feels like because it is very rare we have one in this part of the country.
i live just miles away from a major Naval base in MD and my first reaction was that there was an attack/accidental explosion or something of that nature at the base.....
@MahaloCalm It doesn't matter how widely felt a 5.9 is on the East Coast; a 5.9 is a 5.9 and a 5.9 is not even strong enough to topple a typical American building even if it is right above the epicenter. Your buildings didn't hold together with positive thinking; the ground just needs to shake harder to bring them down. And if the earthquake was more intense then it would measure at a higher number. It's like saying the number 10 is higher on the east coast.
man fuck u man, the reactions on the east coast r spot on, we dnt have earthquakes like the west coast does, the east coast, is known for having hurricanes and blizzards.
Buildings have "shaked"...and you're a FOX correspondent? 1) It's Shaken or Shook 2) You're obviously from the West coast with your tan & hair highlights!! The panic is due to one phrase...SEP. 11th dumbass!!!
People in the Balt/ DC area were pretty laid back once we realized we weren't being attacked again. We have tons of bridges & fed building in desperate need of repair (even the Wash Monum is closed indefinitely now) & many officials dispatched crews to check on some of them. These evacs & the transit slow down caused much consternation. Many people use the subway in DC and the train b/t Balt & DC. They were stuck & stressed.
Instead of getting out of home during the earthquake, i shut all the windows doors & made the kids get downstairs. Living close to DC, the first you think is a dirty bomb or worse.... since we rarely have earthquakes. When we found out it was just an earthquake, we did a happy dance.
Yes, lets send people outside onto a street full of high rise buildings after the worst little shaker the east coast can remember, lets not even think that it might be a foreshock for the long anticipated mississipi river fault's "big one" that would turn the eastern half of the country into rubble within a matter of hours. Stupid people, most normal people sleep through tiny quakes like that.
@DoritoHam Uhhh...they WERE talking about Massachusetts to indicate how far away the quake was felt. Quite the conclusion you jumped to. When you hold a pencil with the eraser facing downward do you assume the "idiot" pencil-makers must've built the thing backwards?
Those on the West Coast need to stop acting like they would be cool, calm and collected if they got something that they aren't used to like a few inches of Snow hitting SoCal or a Hurricane hitting over there. Like you all would go on about the day normally and that nothing would close or shut down and you would react like nothing has happened.
Isn't a "Snow Day" in SoCal considered for a half an inch of snow on the ground? You all act like you would react calm to everything.
dam dude hahahah he straight took the words right out of my mouth! i live in jersey and all we got was a thick tremor. then everybody started fliping shit running around yelling earthquake. im like "calm down mother fuckers! its not even a quake its just a tremor!" they only creppy part was that my town got dead silent and i couldnt call anybody just like on 9/11. i could txt but i couldnt call.
I am from Virginia and I've dealt with terrorist attacks, anthrax scares,hurricanes,wild fires,tornadoes but this earthquake scared me to death! The walls in my house swayed and bent and then shook and the rumbling sound made me think BOMB or jetliner about to crash into my house. It scared me! Why are Cali peeps so cynical and mean?
@vaskylark Californians are a bunch of attention whores like Paris Hilton,They don't like the cameras being someplace else when the ground shakes. Prima donnas
@jaydenfre2413 We east coasters are a barrel of excuses today, hehe! But, seriously, I like how there's this sense that we persevered through a major disaster and that our buildings held together through the sheer force of our will to survive. No one wants to admit that the ground simply needs to shake harder to bring down a typical edifice in the US. We do need to stop deflecting and learn to laugh at ourselves because we're ALL perfectly fine, just a LITTLE SHAKEN, badum-bap!.
I'm sorry, but that description is just too misleading. I have plenty of respect for Shepard Smith. He is what Jon Stewart likes to call "The thinnest kid in fat camp" in that he is the one that actually gives the facts. You should've seen Megyn Kelly the hour before hand freaking out, saying the Washington Monument was tilting and widespread evacuations all over Washington DC and New York. If anything, Shep handled it better than the other croonies at Fox.
u wanna play this game? 5.8 happens in the middle of cali, in stays in the middle of cali, 5.8 happens in middle of VA and that shit gets felt all the way up into canada, so how should we react?
@ClutchKiller1 I would much rather have a blizzard than another Santa Ana-driven wildfire like the one in 2007 that destroyed a third of my neighborhood. I mean no direspect, but people sleep through 5.9 earthquakes; you're not even supposed to bother getting out of bed unless it's a 6.0 or higher. In Los Angeles a 5.9 is called a "tinkerbell". To be fair we would probably overreact if it snowed in our southern cities, which is strange since we all snowboard.
@keurigirl i wont be surprised if someone like hannity figures out a way to pin point the earthquake blame on obama who happens to be golfing during this 15 second crises lol
@keurigirl, well this anchor here is Shepard Smith, He is usually correct in his shows and he is really unbiased. Maybe the only unbiased anchor in fox news.
His report gives the unmistaken impression that an earthquake in New York city is as normal as ice burgs in the North pole.
For most East Coasters, the after shock that was felt was like snow falling on the Mojave dessert. It just doesn't happen here. So when you feel, your initial reaction is to assume that something had crash or that there was construction going on outside.
Luckily, everyone here is fine, and that's the important thing to remember.
Right! I am from the East Coast and I live in Los Angeles, and every time it "rains" (which is usually a light mist), people kill each other driving into the central divider on the freeway, the freeways are jammed, and everyone either drives 2 miles per hour or 100 miles per hour.....a mess!

@PinkPenguinLover101 You reacted as one unused to earthquakes would understandably react. It was STILL overreacting. You didn't need to shut down traffic. You could've just made a phone call to the west coast and found that there was nothing to worry about.

@PinkPenguinLover101 Like I said, your reaction was COMPLETELY understandable and I respect your reasons for taking precaution. I'm just saying that on the flip side you need to respect the reasons why people living on the west coast and in Mexico (like me) are going to find the whole thing pretty funny. A little good-spirited chortling never hurt anyone; it did open a dialogue between someone living on the east coast and a Belizean living abroad in Mexico.

Here was the collective, best thing to do: stop acting like a prick. I was watching this and was just absolutely put-off by the way he spoke down toward everyone. And, as an emergency responder, I can kinda appreciate the need for people not to freak out...but at the same time, everyone's human. Give the East Coast a semi-major earthquake, and we're gonna react. We don't have those. It's not natural to us. Jeez.

A large percentage of the buildings on the East Coast are unreinforced masonry buildings, which are not earthquake-proof. Those of you on the West Coast live in buildings that are built to withstand earthquakes, adhering to building codes that did not exist when many of the East Coast buildings were built. Yes, people needed to calm down, but I think the authorities were absolutely right to evacuate buildings until they could determine whether they were structurally sound.
Katzy27 4 months ago 19
@Katzy27 Making something "earthquake-proof" means building it to withstand 6.5 and such; unless the building is just bad a 5.9 is not going to destroy it. That doesn't mean we don't understand why you would make sure the Washington Monument wasn't cracked, but we're going to find it funny whether or not you have a valid excuse. It's like a guy laughing at his best friend for screaming at the sight of a daddy long legs even though it's definitely not the understanding thing to do.

@Katzy27 it doesnt matter, katzy - people always become instant experts on anything and everything when they judge and scold and criticize. you are absolutely correct about the buildings - the powers that be definitely DO realize, and discuss, the ramifications of what a major seismic event would do to areas in the mid-atlantic and eastern US.

PART 3.............And lastly, it seems like many people in greater California are talking about this. So here is a FACT; the last time an earthquake of this size hit mainland California was…wait for it…7 years ago. You guys get a much higher number of earthquakes annually, but don’t let it get to your heads. And I know I wrote a ton.

PART 2.......To my knowledge no news coverage ever made it out to the epicenter, so most of you never saw the real damage. Virginia is not unknown to get earthquakes either. I live right under the central Virginia fault zone, which has produced many small earthquakes, the last big one being a 4.5 in 2003. The big Seattle quake of 2001 was 33 MILES deep. The Virginia earthquake was only 3 MILES deep.
williluvmycello 5 months ago
PART 1.......The Virginia earthquake was exaggerated in D.C. and new york. However, there still were injuries. At Louisa county high school a teacher and two students were injured. The town of mineral had some significant damage. The significant damage WAS confined to a very small area and many buildings in that area were damaged quite a bit (broken windows, collapsed chimneys, and some homes damaged so much that they were deemed unsafe to live in) My house 30 miles away has some large cracks.

Actually several schools and buildings were closed due to damage, because unlike the west coast our building structures are not made to with stand an earth quake, So it was kinda a big deal.
EmmaRella69 5 months ago
@EmmaRella69 The damage that happened to those school was pretty much because they were old and it was incredibly easy to clean up. Nobody got hurt. The average person here on the east was more likely to get killed by a car driving through a building than from something falling during the earthquake. The building code we have here is still good enough to withstand a 5.9. Our buildings didn't hole together with positive thinking; the ground just needs to shake harder.

@akrocin I COMPLETELY agree, we did not over react. This is the first time 98% percent of us have felt an earthquake and with it being so close to September 11th it did scare most people because they don't know what an earthquake feels like because it is very rare we have one in this part of the country.

@MahaloCalm It doesn't matter how widely felt a 5.9 is on the East Coast; a 5.9 is a 5.9 and a 5.9 is not even strong enough to topple a typical American building even if it is right above the epicenter. Your buildings didn't hold together with positive thinking; the ground just needs to shake harder to bring them down. And if the earthquake was more intense then it would measure at a higher number. It's like saying the number 10 is higher on the east coast.

People in the Balt/ DC area were pretty laid back once we realized we weren't being attacked again. We have tons of bridges & fed building in desperate need of repair (even the Wash Monum is closed indefinitely now) & many officials dispatched crews to check on some of them. These evacs & the transit slow down caused much consternation. Many people use the subway in DC and the train b/t Balt & DC. They were stuck & stressed.

Those on the West Coast need to stop acting like they would be cool, calm and collected if they got something that they aren't used to like a few inches of Snow hitting SoCal or a Hurricane hitting over there. Like you all would go on about the day normally and that nothing would close or shut down and you would react like nothing has happened.
Isn't a "Snow Day" in SoCal considered for a half an inch of snow on the ground? You all act like you would react calm to everything.

His report gives the unmistaken impression that an earthquake in New York city is as normal as ice burgs in the North pole.
For most East Coasters, the after shock that was felt was like snow falling on the Mojave dessert. It just doesn't happen here. So when you feel, your initial reaction is to assume that something had crash or that there was construction going on outside.
Luckily, everyone here is fine, and that's the important thing to remember.
