    Felt it just north of Charlotte. Was kind of scared when the table I was at spontaneously started shaking.

    I missed the whole thing. Was driving back from upstate NY. WTF

    This has me thinking of the Kiwis moaning about a couple inches of snow and cold. It was what, "13" degrees? Centigrade? :lol:

    By the time I figured out what it was, it was over. And to think I was nervous there would be a quake while I was in San Fran last month...and instead there was one (itty bitty one) at home.

    I haven't seen any damage anywhere here in Richmond VA. I'd say only older structures with very weak points or loose bricks would have had any problems.

    On the radio NPR mentioned that the reason it was felt so far is because of the lack of faults the vibrations traveled far, whereas in California they would have not traveled so far because of the many fault fractures stopping the vibrations.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    I was at wok, on my lunch break in the breakroom. Walls started shaking then apparently whole building shook for about 10-15 seconds. First though that it was someone on the roof, then i realized that wasn't it. Cautionly opened the breakroom door and stood under it. Customer walked by and asked me if that was an earthquake. hen went on facebook and found out everyone else experienced it. :lol:

    Hope everyone is ok though :)

    one of the phillies dopey announcers:

    "There were so many people standing in the street today I thought they was givin' out golden nuggets. In California they tell ya to get under your desk so nothin falls on ya. Here they stand in the street hoping to get hit "

    You folks need some earthquake preparedness training.
    You don't want to run outside - it's the falling bricks and electrical wires that will get you.

    The best thing about an earthquake? It's over by the time you realize what it was. No hiding in the cellar worried for hours like in tornados or hurricanes.
