Hope you all survived :)

Funny I'm sitting at my desk at home and I feel my chair and desk virbrating but it's so subtle I think it's a gust of wind. There were kids outside playing and they never stopped so I didn't think anything of it and then my girlfriend texts me telling me there was an earthquake, and then it made sense, lol. I'm in NYC so pretty far from the center but apparently in midtown midhattan the big buildings shook a fair amount, some were even evacuated.

I'm on the 17th floor. My walls were shaking. 

I feel so left out. I live in North Jersey, but didn't feel a thing. 

lots of buldings evacuated in DC....I just climbed 10 floors back - didnt want to be in an elevator in an aftershok

and in BREAKING NEWS - PHELAN AFTERNOON GAMES LATE!

I climbed back to my office for this?!??

I think that was the test run for the maintenance WIS is doing tonight.

Not that I know of, beyond things that were broken if they shook off the wall or a shelf. 

EDIT:  Apparantly there is some pretty significant damage at the National Cathedral in DC

Felt it at my house in Portland Maine.  Was sitting on the couch watching tv and thought I was getting vertigo or something...things just subtly move. 

I'm in Charlottesville, VA, just about 35 miles from the epicenter. Our office building shook pretty good.....wow!
