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.

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.
