Boom Boom rattle rattle: EARTHQUAKE!

[stubhead]

We felt it and heard it all the way over here, on the piece of land across the Chesapeake Bay. Nothing fell off my shelves, but it was still mighty weird. I am a fan of violent weather & catastrophes, so I can add this to my list (NOTHING beats Hurricane Andy in 1992 - the eye of a hurricane is a really neat place to be.)

wow 5.8 in Virginia, I bet those guys are Freaked out
that is a rocker for sure, but not that bad, we usually do not get to excited out here til 6.5

I felt it in Pittsburgh.  I was stopped at a red light, it felt like when a truck drives by on a bridge.  I used to live in California so I recognized it as an earthquake pretty quickly.  I looked at the overhead lights and signage but nothing was shaking so I knew it couldn't have been too strong where I was.  

I stopped into the library after that and they said a few books fell off the shelves.

DEFINITELY felt is here in the MD/DC area. I felt the last one we had in this area (a 3.4 or 3.5 I think it was) and this one was definitely bigger. Once a year or so is fine, but I'm glad we don't have these things often.

Yep, felt it here in VA. My fathers work in DC was evacuated. Turns out the only damage was a bit of tape coming loose in the stairwell. Ha! It was pretty cool.  :cool01:
