It was really interesting to feel a mild earthquake considering it is something that is very rare on the East Coast. Everything around me shook back and forth . . . it was crazy! I have another experience under my belt now! ;) Luckily, no one was injured and no major damage has been reported yet.
Did anyone else on the East Coast feel the earthquake?

Yes mam! I felt it here in NC, CRAZY feeling!!!
I didn't feel it but a lot of my friends did. =( I'm jealous,lol.
So crazy!! I'm in Florida so I didn't feel a thing!
I sure hope everyone is okay! The DR I work for, his daughter is in school in VA, so we were concerned about her!
I am so happy that everyone is safe and uninjured- but I gotta be honest- I'm a little jealous. Apparently people in Detroit felt an earthquake not that long ago and I didn't feel anything then either! I don't want to feel a massive quake- just an itty bitty one!
Omg here in DC we definitely felt it really hard!
So crazy! We get earthquake here in California all the time but if I were on the East Coast and felt one I think I'd freak.
So glad you're okay! How crazy!
I was teaching kids in DC when it happened. Made for an interesting few seconds.....
yeah we felt it in southwest VA...i was sitting on my couch and it started shaking..such a weird experience!
This is so scary!! I don't know what I would do because I've never experienced anything like that before. Thoughts and prayers are with the east coast!
I was IN Richmond! Scary stuff! Glad everyone seems to be okay!
I, for one, did not feel the earthquake way over here in WA state. Nothing ever exciting happens over here. I'm gonna move.
I did here in Westchester, NY. Scared the shit out of me.
everyone at work felt it here in Mass!! i didnt! everyone said they suddenly felt dizzy..so weird!
glad everyone is ok. I read an article that if it hit NYC instead, it could have been HORRIBLE. Thank God
xoxox
Ooooh I'm glad you're okay! I was facebooking all of my Virginia buddies to see if they were alright. It seems like all is well up there - haven't heard of any drastic damage yet!
Hugs!

Seriously, it had to be one of the craziest things I've ever felt. I thought I was going crazy at first. Luckily my neighbor at work and I popped our heads out of our cubes and the same time and asked "did you feel that?!" Haha....it made for an interesting day!
Apparently everyone here in NC felt it too except me. I'm kind of bummed that I missed it. Haha
