Earthquake in Virginia! We just had a significant earthquake here in Northern Virginia. I have been through a couple of fairly big ones in California and this scared me. Felt like our wood-frame house was going to shake apart! I grabbed the doggies and sat in the doorway in case anything fell off of the walls or shelves. It was a long and loud one too. Yiiiiikes! |
Checked upstairs...things were knocked off of shelves and the scale in my bathroom traveled across the floor. Hope our foundation is okay. We don't carry earthquake insurance here in Virginia. |
Glad you and the boys are ok Kristin!! We just had a few customers in the bank talking about this. I hope your home is ok. |
Epicenter near Mineral, VA, home to one of our nuclear facilities...only 35 miles south of us. :eek: 5.8 - 6.0 magnitude |
That was terrfying and my first earthquake, so I had no idea what was going on until it was over and I saw the news. We are up on the 14th floor, and it felt like the whole building was swaying back and forth, and I heard a deep rumbling. The girls went insane. I'm glad you and the boys are okay. |
Better go check the foundation, when you get over being scared. That'll take awhile. I didn't know there was a nuclear facility where the eq happened. |
I felt it here!! The bdlg was shaking! |

They said it was felt as far away as Ohio and NC. |
I felt something in NYC about 30 minutes ago. Was that the same quake? I've been through many quakes in California, but I'm pretty sure this is my first east coast one. |
Felt it in Connecticut too . . .I'm at work, hopefully my babies didn't get scared . . .leaving here in about 1/2 hour . . .:( |
