Nope, I'm in Central Virginia. I was actually just pulling into my driveway as the quake hit, apparently, but since it's gravel and we've got some bumps and dips, I didn't feel a thing! Waiting for the aftershocks, though.

But to answer your question, it was apparently felt from NYC to the Carolinas.


Whoa. This article I'm reading says the epicentre was near Mineral, VA.

@Diamondais: Gah!

Yeah, I thought I was just having a heatstroke and naseous from that, but sister was all like, earthquake! when she called me. I texted some friends, they said it was all the way up in Canada, which made me go meer!

I'm in Vermont, didn't get no earthquake here sad.gif

Some people in Vermont felt it, but I didn't because of construction near my office -- we've been having earthquake for the last four weeks here.

Jack-all here down in North Carolina for me. I only knew there was one because someone in my TF2 game felt it.

Gah?

Should probably mention I'm in Toronto.

You're all lightweights. I've slept through bigger earthquakes than that.

Huh. I thought Phoebus and Daraius were pretty far north from Maryland (edit: where I am). Was it across the coast?

I live in Maryland. suspicious.gif

For some reason I thought you made an epic journey to reach the DC meet. *sheepish*

I took a train! biggrin.gif

But it was my first time on a train, so I suppose it was epic in that regard. happy.gif

Err, felt it in Burlington; rather significantly too (it went for more than 30s, the windows were rattling in the office).

Not surprised it would be felt in Canada, especially since some of Canada is further south than we are! And a heck of a lot closer to the epicenter.

Spent a couple hours enjoying gorgeous earthquake weather on a hammock, watching clouds and my silly dogs, with a cat on my lap and listening to This American Life and not even caring about sentence structure.


Traitor.

My rave: I have a job. For a month or two, at least.

Associated rant/dissatisfaction: Who the hell invented waking up at bloody 0700?

I'm not going to say it. I can't. Not in response to Daraius.
