It was a scary one too!!!!
Chair shook, ironing board wocked back and forth and so did iron..
I had to catch the iron or it would have fallen.
Started in DC this morning

glad you saved the iron I just this minute saw on the news - they belive started in Virginia. We have hurricanes but no earthquakes

Phew - scary.

Glad all of you are OK.

Hi,
I hope you are all okay, I was just telling my hubby down in London about it, looked it up online, the news filtered through to our media after I heard about it here!!!
I didn't think the East coast was prone to earthquakes, am I wrong. I thought it was over the California side that they were always on the watch out.
Take care,
Sue (rummage)

In Va this morning 5.9!!!!!!!OMG

We are OK Thank you for asking,Whewwww, scary!!!
There are all kinds of Fault Lines on the Eastern coast..

This isn't the first time I have felt EQ in Ohio!!
One was so bad about 22-25 yrs ago, we got out of the house....Cracked walls, things tossed over.....

This link has lots of earthquake information.

The East Coast is quake prone. The great earthquake Aug. 31, 1886, was one of the largest on record. In fact the Charleston, South Carolina, USA sits on a fault. Charleston is also home to one of many Richter Scales located in the USA.

The East Coast also has a fault line here in the U.S. I felt it here at the office.
