Standing in the kitchen of my 3rd floor apartment when the place starting swaying like a child's tree house in the wind. Grabbed my keys/wallet and down the stairs to find my neighbors gathering in the street. Scary, scary stuff.

Felt it here in Ohio too. Amazing how far it traveled. I used to live in Japan and it would happen from time to time. Seemed to always happen while I was sitting at work, and my first thought was always "what the heck is wrong with my chair?" then "oh, it's an earthquake." Same thing happened today.

Glad to see they're reporting no major damage or injuries. Hope that's the case.

Got it here in Pittsburgh, PA too though it was light and short enough some people didn't even notice.

Friends in Washington DC were evacuated from work. They actually told me before I felt the quake here (was chatting online with them while it happened). Crazy how fast data can travel now.

I wonder what that would feel like (if anything) on a bike.

Earthquakes are not uncommon here in Italy, I like on the 5th floor and things do get very shaky, you think you're on a ship all of a sudden... Just let us know, OK ?

so we felt the earthquake here too - my dogs jumped up and started barking and I was like "dang Toby is gaining too much weight to be shaking the floor like that..."

Here in NC some people felt it, some did not.
But it was noticable enough to me that I felt a small jolt in the floor and heard things knocking in the house (one was a bookcase with glass doors), and it really did upset the dogs.

I know to West Coasters this was not a big deal, but East coast earthquakes really do travel further and are rare enough that when they do happen they scare us! Shocked
