Earthquake hits the east coast !!!

[AJ Collector]

After shocks are to be expected people so try not to panic......

[Bizarro Amy]

We felt some vibrations from it, but I thought it was a truck or something. My husband's office evacuated, because they're higher up and the shaking was significantly worse there.

Actually, the first thing I thought was a terrorist attack had just occurred. I am 50 miles outside of Washington D.C. so it's almost a conditioned response since we rarely feel any earthquakes around here. Now that I know what happened; I'm ok with after shocks.

Looks like it was felt from Va to Martha's Vineyard. Strang I'm not getting reportsw from south of VA yet.

No serious damage reported (so far) anywhere, including the epicenter in Mineral, VA.

We've been on the air for a while.

wow this is not a nice thing to be hearing...hope all you peeps who are in the area of it all are good and safe...
...and thankyou jack ..keep safe

Here in NYC I hear the torch from the Statue of Liberty fell off and nearby there is a woman holding a crying child with tears streaming down hear face screaming: “WHY!!! Why!!!?!?!?!?!?”

Seriously, I was packing an item for someone from this board RIGHT at the moment it hit. Good omen! Package on it’s way!

It can only be a good thing in NYC. The amount of ninny panic hoarding/shopping will help local grocery stores like crazy. This is the kind of stimulus package we need! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

Seriously, it’s centered in Virginia. Nowhere near here. And no damage. It’s just crazy because New York just doesn’t feel stuff like this. Like I am calm, but still there is this odd primal rewiring of my brain trying to digest that an earthquake was felt in NYC. Nothing a few beers won’t solve!

My sister's stationed in VA. I hope she's ok

[AJ Collector]

Train service from South Jersey to Philly suspended......hope that does not hinder any of you guys....

[Wee67]

Hearing there might be some damage in the Richmond, VA area. Anybody here in that area?

[AJ Collector]

No East coast Tsunami threat so thats good......

My sister's stationed in VA. I hope she's ok

Reports from Richmond say chimneys have collapsed, some damage to a post office but no initial reports of injuries.

I felt it here in central Vermont. I was leaning on a counter and all of a sudden something didn't feel right and I looked at the ceiling and all the hanging light fixtures were swinging.

They should call this one the Thirteen Colonies Earthquake

[Nostalgiabuff]
