You caused the quake. Gotta stop with the energy drinks.

Philly PA too...
I didn't even think it *was* an earthquake at first... didn't occour to me to think that.
I thought "wow! the upstars neighbors are really gettin it on!"

I thought it was one of the A/C units in the datacenter (40ton chillers) doing it's thing.

It was crazy here in VA. Thought my building was going to come down.

It happened in Richmond Virginia after all. I felt it slightly where I live (upstate NY). My mom felt it quite a bit in NYC though. They were evacuating people, and the phones were down.

I'm over here in Wellesley, MA and felt it up on the 2nd floor. It was crazy. I always feel the floor shake during the day, but this is different, it like, made my head hurt o.o
On the other hand, nice to see another MA XDA member

I'm fine. Thanks for asking, we felt it all through the DMV area.

I'm good here in Wilmington, DE. Didn't feel a thing even though my co-workers did.

Nothing in Central Florida, but Aunt in south NJ felt it.

I was at the top of an elevator hoistway in the Saudi Embassy in McLean Va. Pretty scary seeing this mansion shake and hauling ass down the stairs while shaking. Gotta be nuts to live the west coast! Thanks for asking op.

I felt it while siting in my truck in the DMV. Truck shook for about 5 sec. Thought it was a string wind. Looked around and didn't see any trees our leaves blowing. Then it started shaking even harder. I'm looking around thinking somebody is physically shaking my truck like wth going on. Then the office buildings started emptying and people was asking me did I feel it outside.

I was in few good ones when I lived in Cali. Most notably, the 1987 Whittier quake (5.9)

I live here in Colorado springs there was a 5.2 yesterday about 3 hrs south of here and didn't feel nothing but people a hr north in Denver did. I can't believe there was so many. The world is ending lol.

There were reported tornadoes all across the South last night.
And how could you fake this? Who in the hell would fake this?
Its definitely not fake. I was in my garage at 3pm changing a engine and all of a sudden the wind went balistic. It lasted all of maybe 2 minutes.
Not sure of injuries or what not. We have no power and all of our neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods are blocked off from traffic right now. I have more pictures but they do no justice.

This is something that does not happen very often. The pictures I posted are just a few, there is worse damage in other areas. I consider myself lucky on this one as I was in it but just on the outskirts of it.
Just 2 blocks over from me houses are ripped apart but all our house just got some small branches in the yard.
Fun day and during all this madness I was able to swap and engine in a jeep grand cherokee ;-)
I live in South Carolina in the Upstate, and man the WIND was ****ing CRAZY today. I could only imagine what was happening before it got here. Man, sorry to hear about your neighborhood. Hope people recover fast and things aren't down for too long for you guys.
I hope everyone is ok. That's crazy. I know my basement is flooding right now where I live from all the hard rain.

Thanks for the condolences. Its going to take a few days I assume to get power restored, just about every power pole on yadkin rd which is about a mile long are down.
I can only follow what's posted on line to see about injuries and what not, hope not too many were hurt or anything.

Sprint just got the towers back in check a few hours ago. We also got power back just a little bit ago.
I did take those pics with my epic.
So far I have heard of 10 people that didn't make it.

It's officially too hot outside....

Apparently the Sense 3.0 lockscreen doesn't like when the temperature goes over 100.....lol

Given the fact it want designed for our phone, it won't show 3 digit temps, most people saw that back when the ports started, resizing had been a pain.

Also from Minnesota. Yesterday was pretty crazy! I noticed while charging my phone with GPS on my phone would overheat in the shade after a few min, somewhat annoying.
I got to enjoy that in MN also.
My car registered 103 as a temp. No sense 3.0, so I had no phone issues
Here is the temp here in DE an hour ago
Man, i saw this thread title and assumed it was another northerner *****in' about the "heat" being in the 80's. I was so excited to spank them with some Texas temps (we've been 96-98 for two weeks) but then i saw your image. Well played sir. You win!
Not only was it over a hundred degrees but the humidity was just as high! Makes for crazy hot days.

I came to do the same thing.
I've noticed that if I put my phone in the waste band of my pants when I go outside,my phone gets so hot it leaves a big red rectangle sunburn like spot on my skin.
That's also a car temp. Not accurate at all until moving for a few miles.

I just got back from San Francisco a week ago. I loved the weather there to death, it really sucked getting back to the midwest and its 100+ degree weather.
What I'm saying is that I'd gladly trade places.
haha this thread is great i saw it off the main page and had a feeling it had something to do with min. mankato was spared to measly 102 not quite as big as the twin cities
anywho beautiful widgets showed nothing past 100 dunno if its what was registering or if it wouldn't go over

Speeds in Puerto Rico have been really slow since a couple of months ago. All my friends with Sprint have called Customer Service and they always say that they are making changes to the network and that this problem is temporary. But it have not changed! In fact its getting worse. Yesterday I was really close to a cell tower. I mean I could see the effin light on the top blinking. I could not even get roaming signal! I was not alone as my friend with an Evo and another one with a Samsung where not able to to connect either...
I am strongly considering changing to ATT... They have good Androids now and at least I would have a signal and would not have to pay 10 extra bucks...

I contact Sprint customer service and they told me that there is a temporary outage since 8/22/11 and technicians are working on it. I asked if I would get reimburse for the time without service and the CSR told that I would get reimburse once the service is back and running again.

That is pretty terrible for 4G, on 3G I can understand that, but that is just terrible. Thankfully I'm still seeing 4-9+ mbs both ways where I live, but it sucks to be where you are.
