I was at home all alone. Never felt 1 before. Was scary...thought maybe a plane was gonna come crashing down. Didn't cross my mind about something in the house about to explode or a terrorist act... once it kept on going, I knew it was an earthquake. Glad it wasn't worse. Nothing fell off my shelves or anything but I definitely freaked out from all the shaking and then not being able to use the phone to reach my mom (since at the time I didn't know where the epicenter was). Aftershocks are nothing compared to the actual quake. For me, it's the littlest rumble that I notice more by the sound than the feeling kinda. I think I felt 2 of them last night.
Around the corner in Vienna some bricks fell down onto cars that thankfully no one was standing by or in. Some damage at the National Cathedral reported and cracked on top of the National Monument. Some schools and office buildings closed for inspection but thank goodness no real injuries. The only person hurt I've heard of was 1 in Culpeper that got trapped in some rubble? Havent heard updates on that though...
I hope hospitals are built well and felt less shaking. I cant help but wonder if someone was having heart or brain surgery at the time.

A guy at work just told me he was on a platform on the roof (6 floors up!) when it hit. He said his work cart went careening away from him and he didn't know what to think except to be scared shitless!

YIKES! And now we might be changing this thread to HURRICANE! The 'maters need rain but not via a direct hit.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I feel ya sister, batten down the hatches! I'm not psyched to be on the top floor of our 120 year old townhouse on a hill overlooking the ocean surrounded by trees, with our cable and electric lines running right THROUGH the trees, that's for sure Mr. V is also not gonna be psyched that I just had him move all the Bonnaroo gear to the storage space...now we need all that battery operated everything all over again! Oh and did I mention, I just stocked the freezer?? Oy vey.
I'd experienced a quake or two when I visited California when I was eight or nine, so I wasn't freaked out by it. Although I certainly did think it might've been some kinda explosion.
