My cousin in DC felt it, but as of 230pm all the Virginia phone lines are tied up and its hard to get in contact with people down there.

At least the Evening news has something to report tonight.

It was not real biggy here (suburban DC). Few things shook, a round toy rolled off a cabinet. Made for an entertaining break in the day, but that's about it in the DC metro.

i made sure my liquor was safe.

was very odd not understanding why the whole house was shaking for a littel bit.

Felt it in Baltimore.
1st time I ever felt a quake.  No damage just felt like the floor was bouncing a bit.

epicenter was 45 minutes outside of my home in Richmond.  It was pretty wild for 20 seconds.  Makes me want to finish up my oh shit bag!

A framed photo of my mother in law fell off a shelf and broke.......so the Panda was correct.  Nothing bad happened!   

Hey Brix, whatcha got in your OS Bag?  Im thinking about some type of two way radio for mine. For over an hour, my cell phone couldnt get a call through.

There's a great app for your Iphone called "Mapity Quakes". You'll be amazed a just how many little earthquakes there are all the time.

another iPhone moment.

Just talked to my sister, in her downtown DC office there was no damage, just lots of movement (only a few things fell), which caused panic, screaming, and a disorganized evacuation.  Their "emergency meet zone" outside was unusable because it was an unstable overhang. She's now walking across the city to get home as traffic is snarled.  Glad it wasn't any worse, neither she nor her office were prepared.


Speaking of phones, fwiw, my sis couldn't get phone calls through until now, but texts worked immediately after.

Felt it here in Germantown. Thank goodness the 800 was still standing when I made it outside the building!!! whew.....
