I too felt the earthquake! I was sitting in our basement rec room when I felt a movement and then heard a sound and then more movement. My husband came down and said did I feel the house moving and of course I had. We took off outside! Pictures fell off the walls and shelves, other than that I think we are fine! It sure did send a scare through me. I hope to never feel another anytime soon!

Shew, we felt it here too and your tale explains why my fish were FREAKED OUT when I got home! I figured they were shaken but not too badly, but they were very upset when I got here.
I'm glad you're all okay!

I'm so glad and thankful that everyone is alright!
It was felt here in NC too, at my daughter's school the boards shook. I didn't feel a thing, guess I was huffing and puffing about the printer so I wouldn't of notice.
My mom was sitting at work and she felt it there too in NY.
Our friends who live in VA felt it bad. They said it started at the fault line in Mineral, VA which is about 10 miles from where they are. The house shook and cabinets opened,dishes fell out, etc... She is so shook up she can barely speak. Been trying to call her back but the phone lines are busy.

Here on the mountain top in WV, DH and I didn't feel a thing. I told him we were likely both on our feet and figured it was just that usual wobbly feeling. Folks on all points around our area felt the tremor, but not us. Multistory buildings in Wheeling, WV felt sway on the top floors.
