My husband to me with a grin on his face: "Did the earth move for you too, honey?"
(We don't get many quakes here. lol.)
So i'm sitting at my desk and the whole building was shaking. I'm in chesapeake, va. The office in Richmond got it BAD! Anyone else in the area feel it?
We are in Fredericksburg.
I should have known something was amiss when our normally cool, calm chihuahua was acting like a spazoid this morning. :crazy:
Took the girls to a late lunch since it's their last day of summer vacay. I had just paid, and the earth moved. I thought a truck had hit the building until it didn't stop right away. Ha ha.
Hubby works for gov't. His building was evacuated, he's on his way home now. Says I-95 is smoothing sailing, which surprised me.
The most distressing thing (besides the obvious ground moving under my feet thing) was not being able to call out on my phone. :/ Texting worked, though.
We are fine. Rattled, but fine.
Me too! I remember being in the grocery store and we had an aftershock. My big butt climbed under the shopping cart!
The new hotel by steak and shake reportly collapsed in fredericksburg.

I am curious why there have been no aftershocks? CA people, is this common? Also, according to the USGS website the depth of this siesmic event was not very deep, at all! Lng and Lat makes it hard to believe the distance that this was felt.crazy stuff.
just for a bit of humor......

I was in my office building in Rockefeller Plaza in NYC - was sitting at my desk on the 6th floor. I started to feel super dizzy. I thought I was going to faint and I grabbed my desk. I looked up an the lights were swinging then the windows were rattling - stuff was rolling off my desk as the building swayed.
We evacuated and I initially thought it was a terrorist attack in the subway below my building. I was hysterical (I am pregnant and was at work during 9/11) so it was just a crazy reaction.
I feel better now but very worried about this quake as for it being 5.9 not even in NYC - I don't understand hwo we felt it.
