Felt it in my office in Frederick, MD, and came home to check the house to find a broken window in our bedroom. Didn't really expect anything but I'm glad I checked before one of my pets discovered it!

And yes, I sat in my office thinking it was construction until it was almost over. Heh.

I felt it here in western MA. Also my first earthquake. I was at the laundromat and all the doors on the dryers started moving. That was my only clue that something was happening. My fiance slept right through it.
