    Felt it pretty strongly here too Billy, you guys are probably 50 miles or so closer than we are and it was pretty strong here.

    Funny thing is my dog is terrified of storms but apparently not worried at all about earthquakes - she's tied out in the back yard and didn't even get up!

    Felt it real strong here at Fort Belvoir. Bren said that stuff got knocked off the shelves at home (Fredericksburg is about 20 miles from the epicenter).

    I have a friend in Michigan who said he saw his car rocking and wondered what the heck was happening.

    Your dog is used to riding in a VX. Earthquake... no big deal!

    We did get an earthquake here in Colorado too (2012 is approaching fast). I didn't feel it way over here in the Aspen valley, but maybe some of the Front Range people in the Denver area did. I think it was a 5.2 or a 5.8, can't remember which. The news did say that it was VERY rare for us to get earthquakes.

    There's a lot of underground mining in this area, so I never know if the shaking I feel is an earthquake or local blasting. As a matter of fact, I felt some more shaking not five minutes ago, but I'm thinking it was just mining operations because the last shaking that I felt that I know was an earthquake lasted about a full minute and a half.

    Felt the shakes all the way up here in NH. Was at work sitting at my desk and the walls started to shake a bit. First time ever experiencing shakes from a quake.

    Isn't the world supposed to end in 2012 because of a series of natural disasters?
