First time I've felt one in NC. Whee

At least I'm pretty sure that's what we just felt... office was shaking for several seconds. Nothing big, but unusual for here.

It was centered in VA. 5.8 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Maps/US10/32.42.-85.-75_eqs.php

I still feel nauseous so it may not be done yet.
Right next to the world's largest naval station. Super secret earthquake weapon = activated.

It's my first earthquake! It was as if a heard of horses was running across the floor above me, or something. Everyone exited their office and went into the hallway and just stared at each other. Had it lasted any longer I would have headed outside - quickly.

Contrary to what I have been told, it was, in fact, not better than Six Flags.
