I was driving the Jeep. Everything feels like an earthquake in that!

USGS says it was 6 miles east of Louisa. Maybe it was just Jacque getting ready for our MINI rally this weekend!

LOL!  Definitely felt here in my office building on the James River in downtown Richmond.  I sit on the 3rd floor and the floor shook pretty good.  People began to freak out, then exit to the outside.  No damage.  This one was similar to the one we had 6 or 7 years ago, perhaps just a little stronger.

We went downstairs and watched coverage on CNN.  I feel like I just got off a cruise ship - you know when you feel like you are moving up and down with the waves 119.

My family in the Raleigh/Durham area felt the quake also.

People at my work that where standing didn't fill a thing.  I watched the walls move around. I though when I left Calif. I was done with these. 103

On the fourth floor in my office in Norfolk, felt it loud and clear!  My tenant called to tell me the townhouse ceiling cracked... Damn.

I was driving the MINI on 264 from the Oceanfront to Norfolk at the time. I wouldn't have felt it if it were a magnitude 20. Very disappointed that I missed all the fun.

I was up on my feet and working. Didn't feel a thing. Couldn't figure out what all the excitement was all about at work until some one told me there had been an earthquake.
