That has not been confirmed yet. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/23/after-20-days-off-albert-haynesworth-returns-to-practice/ After 20 days off, Albert Haynesworth returns to practicePosted by Mike Florio on August 23, 2011, 2:26 PM EDT On the same day that he was supposed to be in a courtroom facing assault charges, Patriots defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth is instead on a football field. Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald reports that Haynesworth, after a 20-day absence, returned to practice. He showed up in full pads, and he participated in individual drills, jogging from station to station. Rapoport also points out that he can’t confirm that Haynesworth’s participation in practice caused the D.C. earthquake. We can confirm, however, that Haynesworth’s presence indeed sparked a hockey game in hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recliner Pilot 61 Posted August 24, 2011 Let's look at the bright side of this whole earthquake thing. Obama now has an excuse for the next 6-12 months of his shitty economy. (Let's see if Newbie finds this post ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recliner Pilot 61 Posted August 24, 2011 Some tweets about the quake: After Washington DC realized that the earthquake was nothing to worry about, they took to Twitter to joke about the source of the quake. Some of the best ones below: @TPCarney: Krugman says it wasn't big enough. @comradescott: Evidently the quake occurred on a little known fault line outside of DC called "Bush's Fault". #tcot #p2 @calebhowe: Breaking: Obama administration points out they "inherited" fault lines from previous administrations. @MaizeBlueNation: Fox News claims the Washington monument is leaning to the right, MSNBC claims it's leaning to the left. More news at 11. @charliespiering: I won't stop shaking until Obama makes a speech telling me that everything is ok and that he has a plan @Ben_Howe: As all of DC leaves work at the same time, the United States experiences a brief economic recovery. @daveweigel: Was all set to loot in Dupont circle, then realized all we have are taco and cupcake stores. @BrianHughes_: I wish I owned a bar in D.C. right now. #chaching http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/top-politically-themed-earthquake-tweets Ruh-roh.......Obama was mentioned in there.

Phurfur 70 Posted August 24, 2011 The east coast is nothing but a bunch of whimps! Ooo, the ground was shaking Ooo, we got 10 inches of snow Ooo, it is over 90 degrees Ooo, it is below zero Ooo, we have too much rain Give me a break! Visit the rest of the country and you will be able to recognize a real earthquake, a snow storm, cold weather, hot weather, a real flood ... We will be hearing all about this quake as the lead story on the news tonight. Does anyone know that there was an earthquake in Colorado today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,351 Posted August 24, 2011 5.8 is not very big. A decent jolt, but nothing to make a huge deal over. Of course it matters more where the epicenter was, and this one was pretty close to the coastline, which is why everyone felt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course it matters more where the epicenter was, and this one was pretty close to the coastline, which is why everyone felt it. Yea. I had the news on and the worst damage they showed was the tip of a spire of a cathedral fell off in DC. So I figured it couldn't have been that bad. If I had known it was an earthquake, I wouldn't have freaked out as much. But it didn't even cross my mind that that was what was going on. If it's never happened before you have no idea. In my case, I thought all the water leaks in my house finally destroyed the structure and my house was about to come down. There was definitely crackling noises in the walls and roof. I may need to get this checked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fireballer 2,395 Posted August 24, 2011 I'm about 40 miles away from the epicenter and we just had a 4+ aftershock. Yeah, it's not that big of a quake, but what makes it scary is that today's 5.9 was the worst ever recorded in the area, and usually there's no aftershocks after the small ones that we get every few years.
