I guess all the National Parks and Monuments are closed and evacuated in Washington DC, also 2 reactors were taking off-line near the quake center.

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.

I felt nothing.

I was on the computer at the time that it happened, knocked over my monitor and a cup of coffee. Nothing to serious though.

I've been through three here in st louis.  None serious.  Two I felt (barely).  The third I didn't although everyone around me was freaking out!  Ten of us nearby and I was the only one who didn't notice!

I'm glad it wasn't centered in an urban area!  Quakes that 'small' often don't cause much damage except near the epicenter.

Work in Fredericksburg, VA 35 miles from epicenter.  A good 15-20 seconds of shaking, knocked ceiling tiles down etc.

The Lake Anna nuclear power plant close to epicenter has been shut down.

[Dragon]

5.9 isn't that bad lol. I have a friend living down here, he was laughing at how crazy people were going.

Pansies.  

Don't you guys practice earthquake drills and pack emergency kits like the more civilized and developed regions of this great country?
