Just winding down for the night getting ready for a 12 miler in the morning ( my longest training run ever), when the house starts shaking and a loud, deep rumble fills the air. At first I didn't realize what was going on, then it all clicked. My dog started freaking out, and I couldn't get out the door fast enough. Turns out it was a 4.4. We never experience anything like this in SC. Whoa, could never live in CA!
I was watching tv on the couch about the time the earthquake hit. I swear that someone was shaking the den couch. I turned around expecting to see DH behind me playing a joke on me.
Reports have come from as far away as Atlanta for people that felt it including my county according to the local news.
We had one in Indiana a few years back. I remember our house shaking and I was all ?!??!! and H (from Los Angeles) was all 'Go back to sleep, it's just an earthquake.' It was so strange!
We had one a few years ago. I was at work and everyone there thought the same guy was shaking their chairs until he came out of one of the supply closets. Then we figured out what was going on.
Ok, wow. I did not feel it (in ATL), was asleep at the time (pathetic!) but I totally had a dream about an earthquake last night. Maybe I felt it in my sleep?
What is up with all the East coast earthquakes lately? We were on vacation in Riviera Maya when the DC earthquake happened. Is it weird to say I am oddly disappointed that I missed it? .
We had one in the DC area in 2011. It was a 5.8. It happened during the work day, and everyone freaked out big time, including me!
I think this was the same one we felt in NY too. So crazy! I was sitting at my desk when my computer monitor started shaking. It does that if someone heavy footed walks by sometimes, but then it didn't stop. And no one was walking by. It was scary!
My H works in power generation and they have all sorts of detection systems at his plants. He was working overnight and called me to ask if I felt anything (also live near CLT), didn't this time - but felt the one in 2011. SPOOKY for us southeasterners!

I remember that one, we felt it up here in Detroit - only if you were in a tall building and were not moving around, but I was sitting still and felt like I was swaying. It was wacky!
