Earthquake!

Anyone else feel it where you live? I'm right outside of DC, and the building swayed and shook for about 10-15 seconds, and knocked a bunch of things off the shelving in my office. Wow!

Just heard, they said 5.4 and the center was in Virginia.
Some people felt it down here in Georgia.
Glad you are OK.

I have a friend in Virginia that's getting married this weekend. Maybe this is nature's way of warning her not to!

I read an old Romanian saying that if it rains on your wedding day then you will be wealthy. :) I do hope she has a beautiful day though and not a hurricane.

I live in southern CT and I felt it very definitely. I take quite a bit of heart medication and when it happened I had just taken my afternoon pill. I got scared and thought it was a reaction and I was about to pass out. The entire room moved from side to side. It felt unreal and as though I was on the water in a boat. I called my wife at work ( somebody gotta work) :) and told her I thought I was having a possible reaction. She said you are, you idiot ... you're having a reaction to an earthquake. She's quite a girl, that girl. :)

Don't feel bad when we had an earthquake one morning around 4:00am my first thought was poltergeist.
