| 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.

| 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.

| Thank you Michelle. My heart is still beating fast. I thought something was blowing up outside or that a plane had crashed.

Thor's Human Donating Member | 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.
