My friends back in the DC area are all freaking out. I don't blame them, when you're not used to Earthquakes they can be scary. I remember my first major quake in Alaska, I was sitting in a coffee shop after a night of partying when suddenly it felt like the building was going to crumble around me, like some giant was outside and he'd just kicked the place like a cardboard box. I ended up under the table. Another one hit when I was in my dorm room on the third floor. It sent me involuntarily hopping across the room until I crashed into the opposite wall and landed on my ass.

Since at least 1774, people in central Virginia have felt small earthquakes and suffered damage from infrequent larger ones. The largest damaging earthquake (magnitude 4.8) in the seismic zone occurred in 1875. Smaller earthquakes that cause little or no damage are felt each year or two. Earthquakes in the central and eastern U.S., although less frequent than in the western U.S., are typically felt over a much broader region. East of the Rockies, an earthquake can be felt over an area as much as ten times larger than a similar magnitude earthquake on the west coast. A magnitude 4.0 eastern U.S. earthquake typically can be felt at many places as far as 100 km (60 mi) from where it occurred, and it infrequently causes damage near its source. A magnitude 5.5 eastern U.S. earthquake usually can be felt as far as 500 km (300 mi) from where it occurred, and sometimes causes damage as far away as 40 km (25 mi).

I work over by the Columbus Airport and we definitely felt it here. Was the first time I've actually felt an Earthquake before which was pretty cool.

There was one in Indiana a couple years ago that we felt in Springfield early one morning. The wife and I just kind of looked at each other when it happened.

This was different, I was at least awake for this one.
