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.

While I didn't feel it, others in multi-story buildings are reporting they felt it in central Indiana.

My butt started shaking on my chair, and no one else seemed to be reacting,... so at first, I thought it was just me! Huh

laugh out loud


ETA: News reports are saying it was centered in VA... 5.9 on the Richter scale.
