EARTHQUAKE! struck east cost 5.9! After shocks are a possibility.

Yes, thats right. I was busy watching some anime on my computer when I heard the clanking of glass, then all of a sudden the house starting shaking!

Im not going to give away where I am currently, but the house I live in is in Howard County.

Edit: ABC news says the earthquake has been risen to a 5.9.

Epicenter in VA, it happened 3 miles below the survice according to ABC news. They say we might feel after shocks in the coming days.

Edit again: Topic name changed

Edit again: Two Nuclear Reactors have been shut down as a precaution. I dont know where though since my brother told me and he left out those details.

Update on reactors, they are now back to normal opperations.

Edit, yet again: Also, though no major damage has been found or reported, there has been some minimal damage reported. "A few spots" of damage at the DC hospital.

I felt it in southwest PA.

I felt it in New York, in the city too :?JIT93

Really?!

It wasnt masive shaking either, nothing fell or broke, but I did hear and feel the ground shaking.

I FELT THAT TOO. holy crap that was scary as hell. i stayed on OT though :P

I just experienced it in Maryland as well...WTF is going on?:|

Felt it here in New York first time in my whole life here just a very mild shaking wasn't quite sure what it was at first leaning back on my chair wondering why it was shaking and what that rattling sound was.

How bad was it?Is it still going on?

Wow, I just felt it too! I'm in northern Virginia.

The last earthquake that happened here was last year I belive, the epicenter was in Rockville (Maryland).

I felt here in WV's eastern panhandle, and apparently people back home in central WV felt it too.

Virginia apparently. But yes I did feel it here in Maryland. :P

I heard it started in Virginia, not Maryland.

Still, freaked me out.

Lucky I only got a few seconds :(

It lasted about 30 secs to a minute here. At one point the shaking really picked up, so I got down and I was ready to slide under my bed.

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Lasted a few minutes.mitu123

What are the odds the effects could be felt in Raleigh? Out of no where a few minutes ago, my house shook for a couple seconds violently.

Assumed it was a rogue squall or something.

I heard it was in Virginia, not Maryland.

Still, freaked me out.

My mom felt it, but I was upstairs staring at my iPod and didn't notice. I'm from Southeast VA.

Apparently there was an earthquake in Mineral, Virginia. They had to evacuate the Pentagon.
