5.9 Magnitude Quake Rocks Washington D.C. Region

This is crazy! Everyone stay safe and be on guard for after shocks.

Felt it. Leesburg, VA. Really scary. I am a bit shook up. First time I've ever felt an earthquake.

I live in long island, ny and, the ground just moved back and forth

Never felt anything like that in my life

Upstate NY near albany. Am at work and the whole building shook... rocked back and forth.

Mine shook too, and I'm in WV! What is going on here? I'm freaking out, I've never felt an earthquake before.

I'm in Southern Ca. It's a very weird feeling.
Personally not one I have ever gotten use to and I've felt a lot of them.

Just outside Atlantic City, NJ, my whole apartment building shook, I now have a long, small crack in my ceiling that wasn't there 15 minutes ago. Everyone in the apartment complex came outside to see what was going on. It definitely seemed kinda strong for a quake centered in Virginia, but then again, we don't normally get noticeable quakes here in jersey.

I'm in PA and my house shook too lol

I'm in central Pa. and we felt it too.

wow, looks like the north eastern seaboard got hit

USGS Link

looks like it was a 5.9

Didn't feel it as far South as Atlanta, but my friends in Buffalo, NY are reporting to have felt it.

Eastern Pa checking in. felt it also. Strongest ever for myself. 2 times, seemed to have a break in between it.

i live in eastern pa and just felt it. friends are posting on facebook that it was felt in ny and mass. it was only brief maybe two small shakes, but still wtf!!!!

Maybe someone is weakening the "foundation" on the east coast, so that when this Cat 4 hits, everything will go under like Haiti? We'll see if this is an occurrence over the next couple of days. Hope Not!

Is everyone experiencing this within 2 hours of the coast?

Godspeed, Stay Safe

Felt it here in Concord and Mooresville NC!!

My son called me; they felt it in Oneonta, NY (about an hour from Albany); said their building rolled like it was a ship. Prior to living in NY, he lived several years in CA and says what they got in Oneonta was definitely the "S" wave, he called it.

We felt it here in NC. Durham here, I felt my computer chair shake.. Some people said whole house shook in Central NC. First time for me ,, wowsers

Is it possible that the whole North East felt that one quake?

felt it in near richmond va. Stuff fell off the walls
