Hope everyone is alright .....

 

Wondering the same thing, have the family farm and lots of family and friends in VA. It was first said to be a 5.8 and now its a 5.9.

 

In VA? Damn

 

I am hoping everyone is ok, we have family out there as well.

 

Maybe we will hear from Raoul.

 

Im in Annapolis. Felt it here...was felt from Boston to South Car. No damage where I am..people are going about their business

 

Yorktown, VA.
Felt it here. At first I thought it was a big truck or a plane but, there wasn't any associated noise for those.
Then I went out to see if maybe a tree had fell over even though the weather is clear.

It lasted about 10 seconds then a pause for about 5 seconds then another shake for about 5 seconds.

The windows rattled and I could hear movement upstairs like someone was moving furniture and I'm thinking who the hell is upstairs? The roof seemed to be making creaking sounds.

 

You sure you didn't pass gas?

 

Nope. The house looks like it survived. One wheel fell off but, I'll stick it back on.
By my estimate the quake did about $10,000 worth of improvement.

 

Wonder if the New Madrid fault will slide next? We had a little 1.0 last fall about 50 miles south of us.

 

lil' JB WELD outta fix er right up

 

Felt it here in central Ohio. No reports of injuries or damage.

 

Nah!!! Duct tape!!!
