Re: East coast Earthquake

I felt it here in Pittsburgh as well. I could feel my desk chair swaying undre me and my desk shaking under my arms plus my computer monitor was visibly shaking. At first I thought it was from the boiler room in my apartment building which is right under my first floor apartment, but it felt totally different from that. Earthquake was my next thought but I thought 'no way' until I checked twitter and saw a bunch of other OSers tweeting about it. I know there have been other quakes in the NE US/SE Canada that have purportedly been felt here, but I'd never felt one until today. My mom said she didn't feel it at her office building because she was in the copy room and the vibrations from the machines apparently muffed it out, but other people in her office felt it.

Re: Earthquake hits Virgina/D.C

Yeah we felt in in WV obviously. I'm at work and thought one of our storage system cranes collapse at first. That was a really freaky feeling. My wife called right away when we started to go investigate which then told us it was a quake.
