    Felt it here in my office in North Central Pennsylvania. I had just stood up from my desk to walk out of my area. I have never ever experienced one before either. I hope we do not get another or an after shock.

    Felt it in Bethlehem,PA. I am home alone and at first thought it was my central air exploding. My 2 kitties ran like I have never seen before. They were hiding under the bed.

    I felt it here too, in Allentown, PA. My house shook twice. I didn't know if it was another gas explosion up the street, or if it was indeed a quake. Friends of mine who live out of state said it was a quake in the DC area. I'm just surprised we felt it up here. Guess I didn't think it would travel that far!!

    Said this one was felt as far away as Martha's Vineyard.

    High rise office buildings in Wilmington and Phila have been evacuated as a precaution. Guess they want to check for structural damage, since buildings in this area aren't built to withstand quakes.

    Hope there's no aftershocks - can't take this much "excitement"!

    DIL just called - she works at the big Walmart distribution center about 5 miles from here. Said some tractor trailers in the lot went over, and they are checking the building for damage. It's a monstrous place in size!

    I am wondering what my cats did. They do not seem to be bothered by thunder and lightning. Wish they could talk so I could ask them about it when I get home.
