My wife and I are on vacation this week and was in Atlantic City N.J inside Tropicana casino when everything started to shake for about 20 sec. from the 5.8 earthquake that happened in Virginia. It felt very odd. People started to panic as lights and objects were swinging on the ceiling along with the moving floor. This is a rare event for the east coast. Anyone else on the east coast feel like they were sitting on a bowl of jello?

felt it here in Harrisburg, PA

My brother's friend who lives about 4 miles from here in Juneau, PA, felt it at about 2 p.m. and it put a crack in the wall of her newly-built house.

Must have been northern VA. Nothing here

About 80 miles from me (Front Royal, VA) Lets just say we can take that off my bucket list, I have lived between DC and Norther VA my entire life, that was the first quake i have felt, from what i have been told we have had a couple minor quakes in the last 36 year but i dont remember.

It was a weird feeling, It was kinda spooky at first but after seeing everything was ok and nobody was hurt it was kinda exciting.

X2 on that!

I didn't feel anything in Manhattan, but my co-worker did. They evacuated some of tall buildings in NYC.

I have been through 2, my instinct was to put my hands on the bed to stop it but to no avail

Lmao, I did that to my desk at work, I thought someone was playing a joke and shaking my desk but the office was empty lol (except for me)

i was practicing my levitation trick at the time, so i didn't feel anything. i kinda feel cheated.

pfft, we get those every few weeks

once you try a 9.1 you cant go back

Lol we are amateurs on the east cost of the US

Just be ready! 2012 is around the corner!!!

Felt todays quake near Toronto, Canada today

yep, felt really weird today, outside Philly, northeastern area, ie, Willow Grove if that means anything...

sitting at my desk in the office, it kinda felt/sounded like someone was moving some equipment either in the adjacent lab, or the one upstairs, then the desk sort moved around, then it happened again even stonger, felt very much like being in a car with a very strong side wind, just kinda jiggly.

weird! glad it seems like there was minimal to no damage anywhere.
