Also, you cannot feel a quake unless it's greater than approximately 6.5 while in the shower with the water running over you, as the water disorients you.
Good to know, I guess that's why my dad didn't feel it. He said he was in the shower.

To all the California residents, all your comments about "oh I wouldn't get out of bed for a 6.0, or I've slept through bigger quakes than that.....YOU HAVEN'T HAD ONE LIKE THAT, IN QUITE AWHILE!!!! Get over yourselves, just because you live in quake prone areas, you act like others feeling's and experiences should be discounted.

"Rocks" may be an overstatement here.
The Washington National Cathedral, the highest building in the city, suffered damage in Tuesday's earthquake, with three pinnacles in the central tower breaking off, a spokesman said.
Richard Weinberg, director of communications at the Episcopal cathedral, said a fourth pinnacle was leaning and might also be damaged. The building's central tower, which is 30 stories high, also suffered minor structural damage.
Other damage reported from the earthquake occurred at the Ecuador Embassy, a recorded message by the DC Fire and EMS agency said.

Not sure if it's been brought up yet, but it's worth mentioning that the epicenter was close to the north Anna nuclear plant in lake anna VA. So close in fact that the reactors shut down as a safety precaution. This will be interesting to follow. Personally this is my first Exp. With this kind of thing, and I've lived in eastern VA my entire life. Crazy times were living in.
