Okay, who felt that shit about 10 minutes ago???!!

They're saying it was a 5.8 with the epicenter in VA, but I first thought it was a big ass truck passing by outside! Stuff was shakin' everywhere! I loved it!!!!

Definitely felt it in Brooklyn, NY. Everything in my apartment was shaking, including ME!

CNN says it was a 6.o, but they keep changing it.

QUAKE!

I've never been in an earthquake that strong (and it did feel pretty strong; not CA strong, mind you ), so the geek in me thought it was VERY cool. But, I do hope no one's injured or any serious damage has come from this.

pfft, CNN interrupted Live coverage of Tripoli falling and reporters getting shells rained on them for this boring ass story.

Crap. Boston's on a damn faultline.

I felt nada, but the street in my neighborhood are hollow and things rumble when heavy trucks or transit buses drive by two blocks away.

There are 3 sink holes that are growing also.... they are small but I thought it was from all the rain and snow.

I felt it here in NJ.

I was watching TV... I live 2 houses in froma busy street, so I thought a big truck went by.

Then I got texts from 2 different people and switched over to the news...

I live in South Windsor, about 20 miles from Hartford, CT and I felt the house vibrate and could see my ceiling fan rock back and forth..

Yea as it was happening my daughter fell down the stairs, she said all of a sudden it felt like the pressure changed thenb she suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't keep her balance. This was my first 'quake..

It was reported that a 5.9 magntude earthquake was located in Virginia north of Richmond. We felt it for a few seconds. I was just turning my computer on when I felt it, our house shook but no damages, thank God. But it was felt all around the east coast for real.

I LOOOOOOVE how allz y'all freakin out over this earthquake!

not literally but whatever. It's still phunny!

I miss my earthquakes. NO ACTION here in louisiana...just some boring ass thunder...not even a hurricane(knock on wood).

I wasn't. Actually it was a little fun lol but I knew when I felt everything rumble that we were experiencing a quake. I guess I wasn't as shocked as I thought I would be if a quake was to hit. I did move out of my chair a little but then after that it stopped.

So believe me this North CRACKOLINIAN is a-ok.

But this was a wild moment.

I was sitting at my desk in Manhattan and shit started shaking and i'm like WTF...I looked at my co-workers and we ran to the stairs and everyone is standing outside their office building

I survived 3 or 4 serious earthquakes when I lived in Los Angeles, so I immediately knew what it was, but it was still freaky as Hell. Maybe even more so, because it's the last thing you'd expect in Brooklyn, NY. It was a serious reminder of how spooky those things can be. I thought all my CD's were going to fall off the wall, lol. When I saw the Windex in the bottle sitting on my desk swishing back and forth... I was like... OH SHIT, lol.

Even now, I keep feeling mini after-shocks.

A friend of mine is on a photo shoot in Charlotte. He said folks there were like, "Was that a bus?"

Oooops...it wasn't the folks in Charlotte who said that. It was folks Wolf Blitzer was interviewing on CNN (must've been in Atlanta).

lol @ "was that a bus?" I thought it was an airplane for a second but I knew from the way things were shaking that it was indeed an earthquake.

We haven't gotten after-shocks since the quake hit...

I haven't felt any aftershocks yet here in Central MD, but we'll see. It only takes a little bit to sppok a lot of people here in Maryland, though.

Same in NC.

I know west coasters are used to this shit but we aint, so yeah, it was pretty freaky.

Shit started bouncing off on the walls and I ran to get the dogs out the house. Lola ran out the bedroom barking her head off. My heart was racing for sure.

The firetrucks just left my street. Guess they were checking stuff out.

Takes the meaning, "standing on shakey ground", to a whole NOTHER level!

I guess they had to, to make sure no damage was there. I just heard someone said that people on the east coast have a different soil than those in the west so that's why this one was more widespread than in the west coast where it only hits a certain state (California).
