Mid-atlantic Earthquake

My first one - the earth moved! Was it good for you too?

FYI - I'm in Virginia but was on the phone with someone in PA who felt it too!

Prelim 5.8 Earthquake epicenter about 34 miles NW of Richmond, VA. 87 miles SW of DC. Begin felt as far north as #NYC and New Jersey.

My monitor wobbled here in SW Pa

Meh - didnt feel it, but the mindless officetards here in cinci wont shut up about it...who the hell cares?

epicenter apparently only a half hour from my house! hopefully nothing damaged while im here at work.

Headquarters in New Jersey just put something out, felt it there.

Maybe I'll retire to ocean front property in Tennessee after all.

hmmm... I think I was driving about that time... Didn't feel a thing in NE PA.

So apparently earthquakes were in quick succession across the entire country, that's weird...

Is the Stig trying out something new?

Nothing felt out here in the West.

Which I appreciate, given that Lake Tahoe appears to sit on a couple of large faults according to a very recent survey. And the office is only a couple of minutes walk from the lake shore...

Cincinnati I felt it.... Wait I just farted

Gizmodo says they evac'd the White House, Pentagon & Capitol. Pandemonium! Run for your lives!

Rookies!!

Felt it in Harrisonburg VA. I haven't felt an Earthquake in so long I just sat there for a second and then thought "Oh yeah maybe I should move the baby away from the windows".

Since this was the second thread about the quake, I'll post the "did you feel it" link second, too.

BTW, USGS corrected it to 5.9 already.

Puhleez. I got fat people on my floor at work that make my desk shake harder than that.

Me too, that's why I didn't immediately know what it was.

I put my foot on the ground to get out of the car and felt it, also saw the car shaking a bit.
didn't even think it could be an earthquake, just thought "what the berkeley was that?"

It frightened my children in Raleigh, NC.

The first was just a shaking. 2 seconds or so, nothing more.

It was the second that was fun. About a minute later. Side surfing, watching things sway around. ~10 seconds. The taller the building, the better the ride.

One of my bike reps lives just 30 miles from the epicenter, he said his house shook like the dickens but he and family are OK

It was 45 seconds to a minute here in Delaware, nothing big, but enough to rattle the building around. My daughter felt it up between Queens/Manhattan.
