My building here was shaking like crazy, thought one of the machines down stairs went crazy, the epicenter was about 25 miles away from me here in Charlottesville VA (centered in Mineral)

That was a first for me. :eek:

ooo - tell me more! I was wondering how the epicenter reacted to this quake. Building damage? Stuff fall off shelves? I miss my West Coast shivers :o

Almost a magnitude 6 - pretty respectable! Good job East Coast! :clap: :clap:

No damage here, I'm in a university lab building so they are built like a brick outhouse. Had the HVAC and lights swinging pretty good, might have even knocked off some of the blow-in insulation.

That said it was more than enough for me!

Felt my office shake here in Bristol, VA, but we're over 200 miles away. I presumed it was a truck moving around outside (they're doing street work). Timing is about right.

Hmmmmm....

I'm at work @ Newark Airport - we have construction trailer complex in the parking lot - it was rocking EPPA.
