Earthquake in DC/VA area
 

Just felt it here in Yorktown...

Brother felt it in DC..


wtf?!

Felt in Jersey. House shook for about 5 seconds.

Yowza, really felt it in Annapolis MD.

Same here in Morgantown, WV.

Can't say I have ever had that experience before.

USG is estimating a 5.8 earthquake centering somewhere near DC

Felt in NYC.

5.8-6.0 near Richmond, Virginia. Felt all the way in Toronto.

wow was just reporting in the hurricane thread that we just had the first earthquake I've ever felt in the Myrtle Beach area in 10+ years of living here.

The ground rumbled here in Lynchburg for a good 5 seconds.

Felt it near Raleigh, crazy.

Felt it here in New Haven. First time I've ever actually felt an earthquake.

Felt it strong in charlottesville

Sounds like a few of you just got your shakecherry popped. Grats.

Nothing in Atlanta. Just saw tweet that it was bad enough in Philly to cause the fire alarms to go off in a hotel.

I hope everyone is alright.

I was on a conference call with folks in NJ and they had to get off the call because they're evacuating the building.

Felt it in Greenville, SC. I honestly thought I was tapping my foot and just not noticing it. Then I thought I had vertigo.

Felt it here in Malvern PA... as many others have mentioned, that's the first time I ever felt an earthquake.

I believe this is a sign that the TAMU move to the SEC will be announced very soon.

Didn't Colorado have a big earthquake today or yesterday? Big for them anyway.

It was half way between you and Richmond.

Weird, didn't feel it in Charlotte.

Saying it was very shallow at 3.8 miles. Would cause more shaking.

Double weird. Our office in Charlotte said they did.

Felt it in Raleigh, NC

We must be perched on a big rock or something, cause we felt nothing.

Hartford, CT - felt it

There be fault lines everywhere... at least it seems there were no serious injuries...

Magnitude 5.9 - VIRGINIA

So that's about 100-120 miles from where I am at work. Felt it BIG time. I think ones we had like a 2 something in VA and I thought I might have felt it.

There was no mistaking that this was an earthquake. I'm still a bit mentally shaken by it. I think I physically tensed up and my neck is now killing me.

Wild. My house is even closer to the center of it.

Per ABC News:


Do you think they actually talked to a man eating lunch in Charlottesville, VA, or they just have a stock quote they use?

.

Felt it here, West of Philadelphia

Surely wasn't anything big in NYC (the guy at the conference table next to me didn't even feel it) but the back of my head has been hurting me ever since too. Weird.

Supposedly the boss felt it here in Buffalo.

Definitely felt it in Virginia Beach. My brother up near Erie, Pa said they felt a little shaking.

+1

Bad enough the shut JFK down. I just saw a video of a live meeting in NYC that showed them getting really shook. I guess it all depends on where you are.

I've got reports from friends from Columbia SC to Ottowa saying they felt it.

Here outside of DC, it was quite the roller coaster. First it was a general rumble and then it got more intense, perceptibly up and down. Outside the house I could barely feel it.

It's strange the helplessness you feel sitting there as your house shakes around you, not even that severely, knowing you are powerless to stop anything in your house from breaking (or the house itself breaking).

We've got some good sized cracks in the ceiling in a few places.

The good news is, the beer is okay.

Just got report from a friend that lives very near the epicenter saying his house is fine. Not seeing much damage near him.

Patton Oswalt on Twitter: "Not to panic anyone in NYC, but a screaming John Cusack just drove by in a limo that was missing a door."

5.9 pfft...

Just saw this on Twitter

"There was just a 5.8 earthquake in Washington. Obama wanted it to be 3.4, but the Republicans wanted 5.8, so he compromised."

Lame 24 hour news cycle. "We just received a report the president just took a PHONE CALL."

Felt it in central New Jersey... Maybe 10 seconds long? Wondered if i was having a seizure at first until i realized things on my shelves were wobblin'

Apparently, 698 of the 700 people at my work in Pittsburgh felt it. The two who didn't were myself and my boss. We were sitting right next to each other when another co-worker alongside us started freaking out. When we asked her why she was losing her mind, she told us she felt the ground shake. He and I felt nothing at all.

Didn't feel anything in Massachusetts

I've literally got 19 pages of earthquake status updates rolling through my Facebook.

Were you hovering above the ground at the time?

Who had post 39?

Not even Chuck Norris could shake Pumpy.

Sports Digs had this last week.
