    Virgina earthquake

    just for curiosity... how many people felt it and where.

    it was about 10-15 seconds for me in northern NJ.

    Someone I was playing with said he felt an earthquake at the same time. He is somewhere in Maryland. Any damage?

      Felt it in Manhattan for a good 20 seconds. We are really stupid. Instead of leaving the building we stayed indoors and started watching the news

          Upper Marlboro Maryland at the time. Pretty intensely felt; I had just walked into the bathroom and thought someone was REALLY impatient at the door. They sent us home after about an hour.

          Some damage in DC. Lots of power failures, and a piece of the spire of the National Cathedral has fallen.

            5.8? That's pretty intense. My brother is in DC and I can't seem to reach him. Probably the rest of my family calling to check on him.

              Actually with all the glass from the windows that could fall I wouldn't be going outside unless I thought the building was going down.

                  About a good 45 second shaking in Walnut Cove, NC.

                  My first thought was that the washer was out of balance during spin... then realized washer wasn't being used. Next thought was a really strong wind, but my personal weather station was only recording a 2.5 MPH wind. So then I thought it must be a low flying helicopter hovering over my house, the Feds have finally come to get me!

                  Earthquake was the last thing I thought of.

                    Good to hear all you guys are ok.

                    Am i right in thinking this is quite a rarity for the east coast?

                      Yep. Very rare... that why the possibility of the Feds coming to get me seemed more likely

                      I worked a lot in L.A. back in 2008 and actually went through a pretty bad earthquake there, around August 2008. This was nothing in comparison to that. But they both scared the sh#@ out of me.

                        Is it strange for me to actually want to feel an earthquake?

                          It is an interesting thing to feel. Kinda like sky diving I guess...

                              They are scary because there ain't a thing you can do about it. I was in the 1989 quake in San Francisco.
