Ok, who felt it?!
It was apparently centered outside of Charlottesville, VA and there's reports of it ranging from 5.8-6.2 magnitude.
I felt it 100 mi away in Blacksburg - knocked a bunch of crap over on my desk. I've gotten texts/emails from people as far away as MD, SC, NY, and NC that felt it as well.
Since it's all the buzz right now, let's hear your experience
EARTHQUAKKEEEEE!!!

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."

Offical is 5.9
I must be the only person who didn't feel a thing!

I didn't feel it either; probably because it wasn't a 5.9 at all; it was a 5.8

The most we've ever had in Oz are tremors and mild ones at that. We are very fortunate with regard to natural calamities of that type.
I hope everone in Virginia is OK

I was at a meeting at the PIT airport and felt it. It lasted about 5 or more seconds. It shook the lights and startled many people. Crazy feeling.....
