im talking to some buddies who are in Winchester VA, only a few hours from where it was and they are alright, just got rattled up a bit

[TequilaChaser]

Yep the center of it was in a Rural Area .... lots of farmland surrounding........

they reporting it was felt as far south as Atlanta, GA   and as far north as Toronto, Canada


just caught us off guard here.........

I was yelling "What the Hell?"  "What the Hell?"   and thought I got the washing machine off balanced or something until the monitor bout tipped over on me..... ROFL

I am up here in Bucks County Pa working and felt it while Watching the special on me 262's on the history channel. First earthquake I have ever lived thru or felt

I felt it all the way up into East Berlin Pa here, just a slight shaking but enough to notice it..

Monterey VA here (~150 miles from Richmond), lot of shaking but nothing serious.  I thought it was our Washer, but the shake was a bit much for that (foundation level of the house was shaking).  Was felt in Donaldson PA too.

Haha similar case here. About an hour north of Harrisburg and was talking to a buddy in VA when he said about shaking. Sure enough not long after we got it here and if was for him saying that I would of brushing it off as coal mine blasting.

Wow,
That was the coolest thing (my first felt quake). We shook here for a good 15 seconds in South Jersey!
I'm interested in looking at the fault lines near. Could be some aftershocks.
No reports of damage anywhere yet.

My wife felt it at home (Bridgeport, WV). I am 15 miles north at work but didn't feel anything, although I was outside at the time and not in a structure.  She is kinda freaked out and her best friend is actually freaked to the point of going to pick up her kids at school.  I feel cheated.

Shook my chair and monitor a bit in NYC here. Thought something was shaking me, stood up from the chair, and it was still shaking, and I was like what the balls?

A friend of mine felt it all the way up in Hanover NH, now that's a good distance from VA.

We felt it here at work, just NE of Atlanta GA.  Google maps shows its close to 500 miles away.  I felt my chair start gently shaking then heard some blinds on the windows start to clink together.  Some folk in the building didn't feel it at all.

I'm in Myrtle Beach for a week, felt it here.
