I work in WV and we were evacuated too. That was sooo weird!

This is the USGS detailed info...

BTW, weather has nothing to do with earthquakes and earthquakes have nothing to do with weather. Earthquakes are a function / result of tectonic plate movement and shifting.

Just brought back some neat memories - I know but when the bed scoots across the floor and back at 2 am due to one - it's a memory!
Calif is Earthquake country.
My dogs had no idea what was happening with the whole house shaking. Thank heavens for good solid foundations

Boy, I must really concentrate while I'm on this board. I just told DH about the earthquake having read it here and he pointed to the t.v. five inches from my arm. CNN and coverage from Washington. Yes, I feel a little silly.

Hope everyone is okay there.

I'm sitting at work watching the emails come in from VA to NJ all reporting quake! Wow crazy!

And we are again back to ABC special news report - re: earthquake lol.
All the way up to New York City felt it.
Saying 5.9
3.7 miles down into the earth - guess it's shifting time.

I just told my DH and he has the news on. We have some friends moving to NC this year. Hmm

It doesn't happen often - nothing like the West coast.
