I'm in Tennessee and close to it... Just not close enough.. Haha I kind of wanted to feel it!
All we get is tornados!
 
I have some friends here in IL that are claiming they felt it. I didn't feel a thing and can't find anything in the news to say it was felt this far, but who knows.
 
Aaaah! Working where I work I immediately thought we were being attacked again and it was definitely scary. I've never experienced an earthquake until today! Cali folks.....I don't see how you can do it on a regular basis! No damages or injuries reports (that I know of).
I wouldn't really say they're on a regular basis here. They just happen often enough that they don't freak us out unless they're huge.
 
I was about to leave for practice when it happened! I was walking down the stairs and my mom was in the kitchen, when all of a sudden the whole house started shaking (pretty hard, too!) Super scary.

Yes if it's the one I'm thinking of.. I was so mad because we lost our trampoline in that one!!! That's the only way I could tumble haha :(

I like to watch storm stories on the weather channel and they had one about a tornado that hit a high school in enterprise, alabama back in march 2007 I believe and it had me in tears with the deaths of those kids! I really am not a fan of any tornado they are so scary!
 
i was driving and my mom's transmission is doing something weird and it kinda shakes the wheel and car--i just assumed it was that and paid it no mind! haha
 
I work in Northern VA and on the 4th floor, I thought the floors were caving in and no one knew what was going on. The national Cathedral , the Ecuadorian embasy, and the Monument received some type of damage they are reporting that a Best Buy in DC had the ceiling cave in. It felt like 9/11 all over again because you could not rech anyone by cell the towers were jammed for at least 20-30 minutes you could only text, and if you had T-Mobile you could not text or call anyone until about 30 minutes ago.
 
About 30 miles from the epicenter. No biggie, seriously. I was outside, but I watched the windows of my building shimmy. It was kinda sweet :D

They evacuated before the aftershock(s) but only because our phones are screwy and we are on the 4th floor of our building - they didn't design earthquakes into the blueprints for buildings here. Verizon & Sprint seem to have the most trouble with cell coverage, but cheap old virgin mobile and t-mobile had no issues at all. No serious injuries are being reported, no fatalities, no MAJOR damage.
Our potted ficus tree fell over, my water cup fell off the coaster and I can't find one of my cats. Food Lion in Louisa (very close to the epicenter) is kinda wrecked on Aisle 3, but other than that, VA made it through like a champ!

Is this what it takes for Virginia to get talked about on The Board?? 'Bout time, y'all...
 
Im at school in Alabama at the moment but my mom works in DC and my boyfriend goes to school there. My mom was at the office today when it happened and she said it was so surreal. There was some damage to her office building and one of her coworkers had to go to the hospital for chest pains most likely caused from being scared and not know what was going on. My boyfriend was in his dorm room and said his entire building just shook! Glad everyone is okay though!
