I was on a conference call with our Baltimore office and it got cut off, phones are down there but power is on.


Reminded me a little of the NYC blackout in 2003, I was there for work and on a conference call when everything went dead.
We felt it all the way up here in Albany for sure!
Felt it here on Long Island too


Went outside and all the neighbors were out on the sidewalk looking at each other...

I work in downtown Baltimore and my entire building started swaying. We all ran outside when we started to hear creaking! Not sure if that's the smart thing to do or not.
It is better to be outside, if the building collapses it might miss you, but if you are inside it cannot miss you.



In Harrisburg, my building was shaking pretty bad. Very scary being on the fourth floor of a swaying building.
I'm in Charlottesville, VA about 45 miles from the epicenter.


Was pretty exciting, never been in a earthquake before. The entirety of downtown cville emptied out onto the street at the same time.
The Mrs. texted me that they felt it in the building where she works in Boston. She's on the 27th floor.


Also got a call from my mom who also felt it from her workplace... She didn't want to say anything at first as she thought she was getting a dizzy spell, lol.
About 75miles from it, never felt one before, took a few seconds to even figure out what was going on.
Felt in on Long Island! Crazy to feel my building swaying when Im on the top floor (15th floor)!

i'm in MD and I felt it. I thought I kick my chair at first....but then it got stronger and stronger
Man, that crazy. I live in MD and was at home on vacation. Fireplace starting shaking and a couple pics fell off, but nothing more. After watching the news, it's more like who didn't feel it!

Me and the wife! Just outside Philadelphia.. but should have.. no idea why..
I'm in Northern VA and I thought it was just a truck rumbling by, but that kept going and I ran for my doorway and held on to it and felt the whole building shaking. It wasn't severe, but it was mighty weird.
If it's anything like Australia, it will only be a matter of hours before the climate change loonies come out and say that the quake was man-made!
I felt it, not too intense in my one story office building near Harrisburg.


My wife e-mailed this pic from a weather discussion she reads which I thought was funny:

Or the AVS loonies come out and blame it on subwoofer testing..

Confirmed here in NJ. We felt it.
York, PA - pretty good shake. Exciting more than anything. Funny when you get comments during a customer presentation starting with "who's on your roof" to "who farted?"
