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.

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.
Crylol Me too!

Then I was looking at the water in my bottle moving side to side. Then my keys on my drawer started moving side to side. Finally someone asked.. is the room shaking or is it me and we all agreed it was shaking. laugh out loud

I'm from Chile so immediately recognized what it was...then I freaked out cause I remembered I'm not there anymore and these buildings are not made for this and would collapse in seconds. My house shook pretty hard here in Long Island, NY.

Okay, that was interesting laugh out loud
Went to check on our boat, after that stopped at the Marina Office, was talking with the person whom manages our Marina - and while having my vehicle in park - I felt my car start to shake in all different directions and looked at his vehicle same thing - looked at the Marina Office building and it is shaking and I said Carl WTF is happening - my car doesn't run this bad LMAO He says I think we are having an earthquake Scratchchin I shut off my car - the shaking doesn't stop - I start it again - and they announce we are having an earthquake - this is about 25 miles NE of Philly down by the river's edge.

I called my husband at work - and all the vehicles on the lifts were shaking as well - that was not good.

I'm guessing that mother nature doesn't approve of the new (as of today) MLK monument.

We've beat the dead earthquake horse pretty good by now. It's not so cute and wittle anymore.
