It was felt all over the eastern coast; I felt it here for about 15 seconds in Georgia.

A bunch of places in NY are shutting down (JKF Airport, etc).

5.8 earthquake in Washington - Felichano - 2011-08-23

Felt it here in Salem, Virginia. Me and my Grandma were pretty much shocked.

I mean 5.9 is quite strong, something you don't see everyday around here.

5.9 magnitude + very shallow depth of 0.6 miles = widespread impact of the earthquake. =\

Earthquakes don't scare me. Jesus speaks to me through our planet. Sometimes when I walk on the beach, I fantasize about tsunamis of blood.

The depth was actually reported at 4 miles. The quake was felt as far south of Georgia, as far north as Vermont and New Hampshire, and as far west as Indiana and Illinois.

No casualties at all so far. Everyone was apparently very calm.

Edit: Woops, misread depth as distance from Mineral, VA.

Exactly what I thought. At least fucking specify which Washington: the state, or D.C. Irritating.

Are you okay?

5.8 earthquake in Washington - Jon - 2011-08-23

Didn't feel it in northern New Jersey. Noticed that cell reception is shoddy though (as Khaini said). Not sure if related.

edit: Oh it was at 1:51. I was in a car at that time. hmmm
edit2: Most of my friends around here have mentioned it on Facebook so I guess it was felt up here lol.

Central Indiana here, I can confirm this. My dad and I noticed it while we were eating. It was a rather gentle rocking as far as we felt it.
