My first earthquake........

We also had one too, central PA!

Crazy...my first one too!

Just finished reading about it in the news. Glad you guys are ok, everyone else too?

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 didn't feel it here in Fort Wayne, Indiana (northeast IN) but my friends and family said they felt the shaking in Lafayette, IN (my hometown). Lafayette is about an hour northwest of Indianapolis.

Friend who works at Pentagon posted on FB that they evacuated... and were relieved to hear it was ONLY an earthquake! I can only imagine what was going through their heads, especially those who experienced 9/11! She said they had some water line leaks and flooding.

Stay safe everyone. Sounds like it's been a crazy day for Mother Nature: earthquakes and hurricanes!

Heard on the news that it measured 6.0 - don't know how huge you would consider that, we've never had an earthquake here so I didn't know how to compare it. Hope the "excitement" doesn't wear you out
I'm sure your fur buddies must have felt it, lucky they didn't quake themselves....poor Myndi has enough problems. Hope that's the end of it.

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.
