Wow, apperantly there was an Earthuake in the DC area, but also in PA NYC and Even further! I was walking at the time and i tought it was a truck that hit a pole or something, then all of my neighbors came out and said they felt shakeing and it was an earthquake! So did you feel anything?
I hope everyone is ok. It was a 5.9 magnitude earthquake, centered 4 miles away from Mineral, VA in Louisa Co. It was felt as far north as Canada, as far west as Indianapolis and as far south as Atlanta.
I was inside a building at UMD when it happened. A surreal experience indeed.
I was at home in Gaithersburg when it struck and I had to hold on to some items on my fireplace mantel to prevent them from falling. The quake dislodged a glass pane from a curio cabinet holding my airplane models but fortunately the glass did not break and the models were not broken. I had to readjust several wall-mounted paintings and prints. A busy afternoon!
