I heard that it was a 5.9 earthquake, & the epicenter was in Mineral, VA, which is about 40 miles from Richmond. They say it was only half a mile deep, & that's why the feeling was so widespread. Last I heard, they said it was felt from Georgia to Massachusetts, although some people in Canada reported feeling it too. I also heard that it reached Philadelphia in 48 seconds. Apparently, the Washington Monument is leaning now...crazy stuff...
My grandmother lives in Claudville, VA, & she didn't feel anything because she was driving. My other grandmother lives in Capon Bridge, WV, & said she felt the house shaking, & felt like she was in a vaccumn, & her dogs were barking. Luckily, neither of them got hurt, & their houses weren't damaged.
& then we've got this hurricane coming.... I'm pretty worried about it because I live in Delaware, & they say it's going to come right up the east coast!!! I hope it doesn't cause too much damage!!!
