5.9 +/- Earthquake just now in Mineral, VA ( NW of Richmond )

[Estes]

The devastation of this horrific quake is unprecedented! Oh the humanity!

[Wildcat1]

Columbia, SC here. Definitely felt it, took a few moments to register that it was an earthquake, and I was completely awestruck

[CAP1]

So I asked my boss if I can take the day off when the next 5.5+ tremor we have within 200 miles hits, he laughed.  

one of my customers came early to pick up his car...said they got sent home early. he works for the epa.

My mom lives in the same county as the earthquake (Louisa). A school roof collapsed and a few other things damaged, nothing bad, the media loves to make things look worse than they are.

Everyone at work was laughing at the video of a DA press conference (I think) - we were all like "Where's the quake". pansies

[jollyFE]

we felt it pretty good here in Southern MD, our hangar was shaking for a bit.  At first we thought there was an acft accident here on base.

Next up, the hurricane this weekend.

I felt it very faintly for about 20 seconds all the way up in Montreal at my bank. The 2 with me were feeling it as well.

Seems a lot of dramatic pictures of quake damage are flowing around the web now... such as this:

"That earthquake wouldn't even make the kids menu here out west"

Brother in Poland, Ohio felt it.

Feeling an earthquake on the east coast is like having a snow storm in los Angeles

[skorpion]

was there an aftershock of this quake? at about 9:15 this morning i felt the house shaking up here in oshkosh.

My thoughts exactly.  

15 seconds and it stops, everyone is scared as hell, all the Californians are thinking, "Aww... the rides over?"

Well I remember a few months back, where some of you Californians got all excited about a 2ft Tsunami that came ashore.

Cracks have been reported in the Washignton monument and other centuries old structures. Most average East Coaster's, probably thought what the fudge was that a plane? With over 100 million feeling it I guess it became big news. Us east coasters now have a CAT2-3 hurricane to deal with so spare me your stupid responses. TY

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

Pfft My sister is going down to Charleston, tomorrow where it looks like the storm will pass. I'll be here in Maryland, watching water come into her apartment.

The hurricane is supposed to be more of a threat in Lancaster, PA where I live than here in Myrtle Beach.
