[JackBeck]

4. On the 17th floor in NYC.

We're all totally freaked out by what just happened.

[Me.]

21. Wow

7th floor here. First felt it and wondered why the building was shaking then it got stronger and we ran into hall.

5.8 in Virginia

[JackBeck]

26. We're unaccustomed to ones this large.

My first thought was the new 2nd Avenue subway line that they are blowing a tunnel for.

[Me.]

36. I Was Grateful To Be In A Pre-WWII Bldg

Nice and sturdy

[JackBeck]

43. There is only one more floor above us.

So we we felt the building sway from side to side.

:scared:

[skypilot]

5. Are you in Philadelphia??

I just felt it here.

On edit: Never mind. I see now that you are in NY. We felt it all the way down here in Philly/

[PCIntern]

7. 16th and Walnut St...

sure did feel it...

[rollin74]

6. CNN saying 5.8 Virginia "near DC"

[gateley]

12. MSNBC saying 5.3 -- boy, it seems to have covered a LOT of area!!

[Me.]

31. 5.9

Just on MSNBC

[gateley]

33. Yeah, heard that, then up to a 6.0, but now hearing 5.9 again,

but when you're in the middle of one, a . here or there doesn't make a difference - it's HUGE! regardless of the magnitude. :7

[gateley]

8. DU's been reporting it from DC, NC, Philly and now NYC!

Just reported 5.3

[susanna]

9. I felt something in Detroit, of all places...very minor movement here.

I checked this site and it's saying one happened in Virginia just a few minutes ago:

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/

Wow. That was weird!

[Obamanaut]

10. Interesting that there's nothing about this on GD.

:sarcasm:

[H2O Man]

11. Nothing here .....

yet.

[gateley]

18. A NY DUer reported feeling it, also someone from NC! nt

[H2O Man]

22. Yep.

Appears to be a 5.8 in Virginia, felt for some distance.

[Me.]

32. How Close To Albany Are Ypu?

[H2O Man]

40. Nearer to

Binghamton.

However, my wife called to say she felt it at work.

[NYCGirl]

13. Yep. In the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan. Since I'm

originally from San Francisco, it felt a bit nostalgic!

[nc4bo]

15. Also felt in Harnett County, North Carolina! FB friend said also in Conn. nt

[LaurenG]

16. Cincinnati checking in

it was minor but enough that I noticed it.

[UndertheOcean]

17. Felt it in central New Jersey n/t

[Skidmore]

19. I believe there was a 5.3 felt in Colorado Springs last night

and a fairly large one off the coast of Indonesia too.

[rollin74]

20. 9 mi south of Mineral, VA 5.8 USGS site says

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Maps/US2/37.39.-79.-77_eqs.php

[proud patriot]

28. .6 of a mile deep

:-( no wonder it was felt so far away

[Inuca]

23. MSNBC home page

has breaking news - Pentagon and Capitol being evacuated.

[Tracyjo]

24. Charlottesville, Va.

That was the most awesome thing ever. Seemed to last a long time. Gas, electric, water, all still working. No damage here.

[TBF]

37. You're close to Louisa -

I was thinking about David Swanson too - of course he might be on vacation. Probably a little nerve-wracking for new students coming into town this weekend. (we were in Cville for grad school, moved to the south after)

[davepc]

25. i didnt feel anything in north jersey

*shrug*

[proud patriot]

27. I hope everyone is okay

:-( 5.8 is a pretty good saze quake

[Me.]

29. SC & NC Too

[KoKo]

39. Yep....floor started shaking and house swayed.. I'm in NC...

Quite Scary... :scared:

[sfpcjock]

34. Mic said from the Pentagon that there was an earthquake last July in northern Montgomery County, MD.

This was centered relatively nearby, northwest of Richmond, VA.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

38. Nothing here by Peekskill so I don't get Albany feeling it.

[KoKo]

41. Amazing...I've thought about moving back to NYSTATE..Hudson Valley...

we have some ties there. Here they are big into organic...I have good memories from there.

[underpants]

42. Youse guys send you'se garbage down here we'all send an earthquake
