Earthquake?
 
Anyone else feel the earthquake? So bizarre. Apparently I've missed all of the other VA quakes in the past. Definitely felt this one!

I felt it here in Jersey! I'm seeing that my friends on Facebook from DC, to northwest PA, to Boston felt it, too.

We felt it.

I didn't feel it but apparently everyone else in my area (in northeast Ohio) did.

I felt it here on Long Island. I work in a warehouse so we thought it was a truck backing in then we heard it was felt all the way to Virginia. It wasn't that bad here, no damage.

My east coast friends on FB have filled my wall with news about this earthquake. I hope no one is seriously injured.

I felt it in Boston.

I more than felt it - right outside of Philly. My walls were shaking...I didn't know what was going on, it was scary!

I'm reading online that there are no reports of any injuries yet.

I must say, that was a very weird experience. I started feeling light-headed.. I have a hanger on my cubicle, and it started swinging back and forth. I thought I was going crazy. Then I saw my water shifting in the bottle on my desk.. When the floor was clearly shaking, people were out of their chairs and evacuating.

Things were shaking pretty badly in VA. A few things rolled off my desk, but everything seems to be fine.

I was in the campus library when it happened, and we moved and shook a bit, but nothing fell off of our table. People here are freaking out, which is unnecessary since it wasn't that bad (in my opinion).

Same here. At first I thought I was just getting dizzy (I've had boughts of vertigo in the past). Then I noticed I was rocking in my chair, my cube walls were moving, and the lights were shaking. I still feel kinda nauseous/like an episode of vertigo just passed.

I understand DC and Manhattan felt the fury too. Hope you all are ok.
