Trust me, I felt it. Happened only a few minutes ago. Where I was, it wasn't strong enough to do any damage and it only lasted about 5 seconds, but it scared the heck out of me. The center of the earthquake was in Louisa.

And frighteningly, there happens to be a nuclear power plant on lake Anna which is right near there. Lips Sealed

I hope no one was hurt. Apparently The earthquake was in Virginia and shook all the way 'till New York.
This is really scary. This must be one of the worst years of Natural disasters Sad

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

You're trapped ? Grin

I'm trapped , Take it easy Club nothing else is going to happen , small shakes are normal in every part of the world otherwise all the continent would be still as a single one ,

I personally believe this has to be with the moon/sun gravitational activity we're in crescent, maybe it triggers plaques in some point and some place , who knows? Sad

Its mother nature, its normal calm down

all the news (USA News) are just talking about the shake ,I'm missing the soap opera of some criminal that shut down a long time ago a 747 of pan am then said "I'm sorry" that a lot of people are looking to nail him ,I'm missing it,I was really enjoying it Smiley

We felt some minor shaking in my part of Ontario. Lasted about 25 seconds, I had just stood up from the dentist chair after having two teeth yanked out and I thought it was just me. If I could trust the media I would guess it took about 8 or 9 minutes to reach us from the epicenter.

Got a good scare, as i was home, on the top floor of the building I'd least like to be inside during an earthquake (100-yr-old 4-story brick and wood factory, with a 70-foot brick smokestack in the back yard). This place routinely gets shaken by passing trucks and trains, but not like that!! Scary.
It kept wobbling for a few minutes afterwards. No new cracks anywhere... that I can see, anyway. I might go out for a while, just in case we get another one... Sad
