He asked if we had any damage or injuries, which thankfully we didn't. Then just a few minute ago, saw on t.v. that the quake was in Richmond, Va - that's 200 miles from here and we still shook.

I'm still shaking like a leaf...............
Omg. I live in Delaware too! I'm home alone with my little sister, & the house started shaking. I thought it was just a big truck going by or something, but then my sister started screaming, & I realized something was happening. It didn't even occur to me that it might be an earthquake because we never have earthquakes here. I looked outside, & the water in my pool was shaking. It was over in a matter of seconds. I called my dad & he said he felt it in Newark (by the way, I live in Bear). I turned on the news, & they said there was a 5.9 earthquake in Mineral, Virginia, & it was felt from North Carolina to Manhattan! It was crazyyy. I called FOX 29 news & told them I felt it here. Crazy stuff...but kind of exciting
