I'm in Northern Va and just felt an earthquake, my mom was on the phone with me in NC and she felt it too. Anybody else?

    My friend on Facebook just said something about it! She lives in Lynchburg. I lived in Northern VA for 7 months last year and nothing ever happened. How crazy!

    No, I'm in CT, but my boyfriend's mom just called who works maybe 30 minutes away and said her whole building just shook.

    Yes - no one else in my office reacted, so rather than looking crazy by asking someone here I texted my hubby and he felt it in downtown Toronto as well.

    I wouldn't say that, I would say that we just don't get earthquakes here like that very often

    I'm in Pittsburgh and apparently everyone but me felt it.


    I was likely running the stairs at the time. Guess I just didn't notice.

    we get them here on the east coast, but never this BIG. usually a 3 is considered a "big one". so you know, we're wimps about it. LOL.

    guy in my office is from LA and he was like "eh, it's nothin'"

    Yep, knocked stuff off my walls & knocked down my blinds off the patio door. We are in Chester, just south of Richmond, VA. I lived in California for 12 years, so guessed it right off the bat.

    Be safe everyone.
