Biggest story of 2011
Tuesday August, 23, 2011 Philadelphia had the earthquake that hit a 5.8 magnitude. Dr. Jonathan Nyquist told Fox 29 that events like a 5.8 magnitude earthquake on the East Coast happen every 50 to 100 years. People in philadelphia, like myself were going nuts over the fact that Philly had a earthquake that surely did shake up trouble. The people in City hall were evacuated as a precaution. People rushed out side. I didn't know what as going on when the after math of the earthquake hit, I actually thought my house was falling down. And when me and my sister went out side to see what was going on someone said that a house blew up on a little block a couple streets away. Trains stop running, and cell phones were out of service. Both cell phones and land-line phones were impacted by the shocking shake. Broad street subway line where shut down. People were going crazy because they couldn't get in touch with there loved ones. Some people that were on the street walking said that they really couldn't feel it, and that they had no idea that it was even a earthquake. And others said that were flying across there rooms, and bouncing up and down in chairs. There was very little damage done, and no serious injures.
