VA earthquake

Anyone else feel that earthquake in VA a few min ago?

Felt it pretty good here in DC. Almost knocked me out of my chair.

I feel Wave in NYC!!!! Bulging was shaking !!! Holly Molly That's first for me in my life :O

was talking to a buddy on Long Island that felt it. News saying they felt it on Martha's Vineyard!

Yup, felt it here at my office in Burlington, NJ. Didn't realize what it was until someone in the office started yelling "Holy crap! Earthquake!" while running out the front door. lol

my cousin got some all the way down in south carolina.. nothing here in ga yet

My friend felt it right up in Ontario

I'm in Richmond Virginia on the 24th floor of an office building. I can tell you that I thought the building was going to come down. It shook for a good half minute. Scary stuff.

Cell phones in NYC are down.. just messaging service works.. You cant call...
Holland Tunnel is closed... Airports are closed... They expecting Aftershocks...

I'm in oklahoma, didn't feel anything. Sounds like it was an east coast thing.

felt it in camden, new jersey

Felt it in central WV. We were sitting at the bank in their waiting room, felt it quite clearly. Wiggled our chairs around, and made the tellers' monitors shake.
I hope everyone over that way is okay!

Felt it here In Michigan

I've got a friend in Pueblo, CO. Said they had one there as well.

Yeah the colorado one was 5.3. From what's I've read, pentagon, white house, and capitol were evaced. JFK/washington national airports were closed.

Automatic Emergency Procedure Shut down 2 Nuclear reactors near epicenter...

Is that what that was? I thought it was just our washing machine going out of whack for a minute since it was going at the time. :D

that was...surreal. I'm in my apartment working and all of a sudden my large GTP cage starts to rattle (it's the only one with sliding doors). next thing I know it feels like my building is caving in on itself. never thought I'd have to move to dc to experience my first earthquake.

Definitely felt it in South Jersey. Didn't last very long, but it was cool.

I'm on the 4th floor here and our building was swaying alot

I had people telling me they felt it in Augusta, GA. im about an hour and a half away from augusta and i didnt feel it though.

I was in Williamsburg for the day, and was driving when it happened. Didn't feel a thing, didn't notice anything, didn't even know there was an earthquake until my mom texted to ask if I was ok. I feel cheated! :P

I just got back to my house in Ashland, 30 miles from the epicenter, and nothing's even knocked off the shelves or anything. Considering the hubbub on the news, it's pretty anticlimactic.

In California we call earthquakes that size 'Monday'. :P

j/k I'm glad nobody was hurt. :)

I read some People feel is as far south as Mobile AL... Thankfully was short and shallow Event..
Deeper in ground and longer will be more serious..

Still that was my first and feel Really Really Funky...:weirdface

wasn't an earthquake just Chuck Norris slamming his door :P

Im in Eastern NC and the Pharmaceutical plant i work at is over 300k sq ft and it shook the entire structure.

I was on a bridge when it happened and it was not a pleasant experience. When I got home a few things had been knocked off a shelf but no damage. Glad everyone seems to be okay!

Buildings around here don't have earthquake code like California, would be like Cali getting a major hurricane

Felt it here in Albany, NY. I was out on my deck and thought my dog was pushing up against the back of my chair then realized she wasn't. The deck was creaking and it felt like I was rolling...weird. My sister lives in Fairfax VA and a nephew works in DC, they said it really shook there. Another sister lives in Cary, NC and felt it as well.

I also feel a little cheated, I was walking through our plant when people started evacuating the building saying " We had an Earthquake". I got yelled at for stopping at the vending machines before evacuating lol

I am in Michigan and felt nothing while I was at work..but people were saying that they felt it..so strange!

In CT we felt it and a lot of places evacuated and won't let anyone in until the state comes and inspects the buildings.

Felt it here in Northeast Pa.

weird.

Glad everyone seems to be good!

I know right :D,.. when I logged on this morning I saw that it was a 5.8. I was like,..:rolleyes: that's not news, until I saw that it happened on the East Coast. I'll take a hurricane over an earthquake any day. But a quake on the East Coast is like having snow here in Vegas,.. everything shuts down.

Felt it in northern Virginia. Classes were cancelled due to fear of aftershocks.

didnt feel a thing in Foxboro, MA but that was really just me others claimed to have "felt it"

i was at a friends house and it seriously felt like it was going to sink into the ground. mind you this is the first one ive ever felt in my life. and im in long island new york

As much as I hate Chuck Norris jokes, that made me smile.

I almost peed my pants looking at those photos. Never forget! Well done! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I'm in Ohio. I didn't feel it, but some people said they did.

It was felt at the Cleveland Indians game, so I know that Cleveland Ohio felt It, I'm in sandusky, I didn't notice.
