Earthquake.
So I have apparently survived my first ever earthquake, right here in central Virginia. It was scary.
Here's the details:

I'm in Richmond, so that's 41 miles from the center.

I am about 30 miles north of NYC and we felt it really strong! I think it lasted for like 45 seconds, don't know how that compares to normal earth quakes.
Our office is in an old house from the early 1900's so at first we just looked around at eachother like uh whats that, then the house made a creaking cracking noise and we all jumped up and went outside.
Hope everyone in that neck of the woods is doing alright! Pretty crazy for my first ever earthquake.
I felt it in North Jersey! This is my first day working out of my new office, and I thought that there was something wacky with the building until I heard there was an earthquake. My computer monitor was shaking, and my chair felt like it was vibrating... it was really weird.

I used the website that you posted to record what I felt. freaky that I'm so far away. I don't think I would have felt it if I hadn't been sitting stock still at my desk reading an email on my iPhone.
Try again - we couldn't get through to my dad for a while and it just went through. Not sure if he's verizon or not. He said he was on the golf course and didn't feel a thing!
i'm south of Boston but didn't feel it... poop!
but, creepy!
glad you ladies are okay who are close!

April Nesties March siggy challenge: Next Vacation, Anguilla!!

DH & I at the Light Festival
Apparently other people nearby felt it but my coworkers and I felt nothing :-p
Glad you ladies who felt it are ok!
April 2010 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination
Well...my first experience with one too!
Our buildings in downtown baltimore were literally swaying side to side and up and down. I'm sitting at my desk and the floor begins moving, and as our building has floor to ceiling glass walls, I could look right out and see everything (including my office) swaying and bucking. Man....and we were only close to Northern Virginia! Can't imagine what it was like at the epicenter!
This is all so crazy! I have never felt an earthquake, which I am glad for in the long run, but it would be kind of cool to experience a small one! So glad everyone is okay!
Seriously? This is exactly what you are NOT supposed to do, at least according to California! Most people are injured in earthquakes when they try to exit a building because there is no longer a roof to protect you from falling debris! And I would think the Californians would have this one right :P
I HATE earthquakes! They are so scary - 5.8 is a decent size, but typically doesn't cause much damage here in CA

A10 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination: San Francisco!
Well we had to leave after the earthquake ended. We were still in there while it was shaking but then they made us leave we weren't allowed back in until they checked the integrity of the building. We don't deal much with this so its all new to us.
I can't believe how far it reached, either!! We didn't feel it here in the midwest, but I'm surprised about Toronto! That's only a 4.5 hour drive from Detroit!
Glad everyone's ok!!!
We definitely felt it here. Growing up in Los Angeles I have felt them before, but I was in the tunnels control room when it hit, which is un-anchored, so we seriously started swaying like crazy, the group of us in there ran out pretty quickly. The effects were definitely magnified in there. We still felt it once we got out into the regular building, but no where near as scary.
No damage here that I have heard about, but DH's grandparents live in Fredricksburg VA, which is pretty close to the epicenter and they had some damage.
