Default Wow 5.9 Earthquake outside Richmond, VA

Did anyone else just feel that, we are about 180 miles or so and the whole house just shook.

Yes, in Winston-Salem NC. Our whole 20 story building shook for 1 minute. I was on the 1st floor. As soon as I realized it wasn't my cubicle neighbor I jetted out the door! Just now got brave enough to come back inside.

Yep, felt it strong here in MD, which isn't surprising given the epicenter was in VA...

When I moved to MD, I thought for sure I had left my earthquake days behind in California... Guess not...

Sounds like there was minimal damage if any, thank the Good Lord.

Just got an update that the epicenter was in a twn called Mineral, VA, about 50 miles or do from Richmond, toward Lake Anna. Apparently there is a nuclear power plant in the area, no word on how it was impacted, hopefully no news is good news.
