Sounds like it wasn't a big deal overall but since it's unexpected there, and people aren't used to it, that people were a bit shaken up when it hit.

The teabag of doom from Earthquake would do the trick....too bad John Tenta passed away from cancer like 18 years ago.

Epicenter 20 miles NW of me... it was intense... this is my 4th but #2 in intensity only behind my LA experience when I lost my earthquake virginity
I pretty much knew what was going on... but still thought maybe a truck ran into my garage but then it rumbled another 10 times.. still ran outside
then I ran downstairs... this was a great post I just read "North of Manhattan, in The Bronx, the extended tremor was described as feeling like a giant washing machine operating with an unbalanced load.".. so I went to see if I had an appliance issue or water tank explosion... Haven't checked for cracks but definitely strong enuf..
Only have my 3 big dogs here today... one was pissed, the other two must have thought this was play time bell and immediately started aggressively wrestling
A buddy who works right near epicenter said he thought the building next to his exploded and he ran to the door literally expecting a fireball explosion...
Earthquake experiences
1) LA
2) Akron (I think epicenter was like in Missouri)
3) Here (epicenter was like near Baltimore)
4) Today
My first earthquake I was in LA. It was really intense but I got very nervous because the building shook for a long time... till a coworker who knew this was my first ran to me and said... "the earthquake is over but this is a new building and it's on rollers... so it rolls back and forth to dissipate the energy"

The worst Earthquakes I ever experienced were in Alaska and I was living in LA for a few big ones. One time it shook so hard and I was on the third story of a building I felt like one of those toy figures in one of those old table hockey games, I literally vibrated all the way across the room uncontrollably. Another time I was in a diner and it started shaking and everyone started to dive under their tables. The most comical moment I was at a buddy's house when one hit and his wife came running out of the shower stark naked.
