Earthquake hits the east coast !!!

I just felt it in the Poconos

Man, that was freaking scary

Same here. All the phones are screwed up, I cant even make a call.

Crazy - I've been feeling a little sick all day and I thought I was just getting dizzy. Then I realized the pictures on my wall were shaking a bit.

Just read it. Hope everyone is okay.
I understand how nerve racking it can be. Being through so many in my life in California and Washington, I still can't get over it. We are expecting a major one up here too.

Weird thing was it didnt feel like I thought an earthquake would feel like.

Instead of shaking, this was more like swaying --- like the world was on a hammock or waterbed

Really weird feeling

We had to evacuate the building I work in for 10 minutes. First one for me and also didn't feel like shaking...more of a vibration type feeling that goes through your entire body.

My whole house rocked I had to grab the TV....... 5.9 here in New York, centered in Richmond Virginia.

Pretty scary.....

Sounds like a surface wave quake. That rolling feeling.
Just be ready for aftershocks. I don't mean to scare you but they will happen, usually smaller so not a big deal. Just stay calm cool and collected. Away from glass and falling objects. Might be a good idea to hang out in an open field or area.
Stay safe!

[kerowack]

Long Island here....definitely felt like my house was rocking back and forth....

Crazy feeling.....

Unconfirmed News reports say the Washington Monument is slightly leaning from it.

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!

Yeah I'm in new york city. I felt the shake at my office at work. It felt like a huge vibration under my feet. I thought they were just working on the floor underneath me.
