[1/28/01]

Wow....that was crazy!! Just had a small little tremor in Baltimore County and I have an office on the Eastern Shore and they felt it too!! I am in MD, right?

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

Its everywhere, VA, NY, MD, even down in NC. I felt it too

[scrock]

that was so crazy, i was chilling here and then i started to shake a little, i thought i was getting dizzy or having some kind of problem..so i stood up and the whole house was moving haha

The earthquake originated in VA . 5.9 I am pretty close to VA border and it was quite strong.

Wait VA or MD to get tremors?

[littleray27]

Yeah Cali, you can keep that [i]<crap>. [/i]!!!!!!!!!!!!

Felt it down here in Richmond, Va, niece said she felt in Woodbridge, Va. What's weird is, I live in Ca. for 12 years and that's the strongest quake I've ever felt

Epicenter seems to be somewhere in VA near DC. They felt it in NYC too. Officially a 5.9.

Brb, changing pants.

Don't forget to start stockpiling oil. The one who has the oil reigns supreme!

[poedacrow]

USGS says it was a 5.9 that's pretty big for the East Coast.

[scrock]

tremors can probably be felt anywhere on the east coast depending on the strenght, sometimes tremors or aftershock are just as strong as the original quake

[MagicianCamille]

Colorado also had a 5.3 today.

This is the only time I've been glad I'm not living in Baltimore.

Scotland's never had an earthquake. Ever.

Baltimore and the east coast hardly have any earthquakes. Strange and scary at the same time..

The USGS Earthquake Hazard program said the epicenter was 27 miles east of Charlottesville. We felt it here in York..I'm getting reports from my FB friends that the waves got to New York State.

Hope everyone is ok!

[kagejb]

Did I seriously just sleep through an earthquake? What the hell. Are there aftershocks yet?

[scrock]

Your time will come. We had this one and one last year, but before that , pretty non-existent. This isn't a common thing.

That's why we must prepare for Waterworld!

[jus'_crAzy]

They're reporting that the epicenter was in Mineral, VA. Somewhere near Richmond.

[AwakenTheDemon]

All free and clear over here in Pennsylvania.

[JO_75]

Wow... what's odd is that I live by the Charlotte Motor Speedway here in Concord, NC and they posted on Twitter they felt it, yet I was driving home and drove up near the track and didn't feel a thing. I hope everyone is alright and I hope it doesn't come near where I live.

[Wacko4Zacko]

Lucky ppl in Downtown. they all are being told to go home. lol

[MsMarvel73]

Wow...I am just blown away....

Baltimoreans, please be careful. The news is reporting gas leaks in downtown Towson and a couple other places

2 nuclear reactors in VA taken offline.



ALL National Park sites in DC are shut down for damage assessments....



No news on aftershocks (yet).
