5.8 magnitude. Scary, and pretty close. They were evacuating the Capital and Pentagon. We live closer to where it happened and we had things falling and glass breaking everywhere. I know we aren't CA, but that was scary. BP is up for sure! Praying everyone is ok.

    Yes I'm in downtown DC and it was sooo scary. My office building started shaking. I got the hell outta there. Now they're letting everyone go home.

    omg I thought I was crazy.. I am laying in bed and my whole bed just started shaking back and forth.. it didnt last long cause I am in N Carolina and it is most likely the outskirts of the quake..but I about panicked especially if it would have gotten worse..

    So just checked with friends and work, it was bumped to a 5.9. Structural damage reported to national Cathedral, but no reports of injuries or first responders being called. Hoping it stays this way!

    I was having mild braxton hicks over weekend, have had a bad one since earthquake. They are saying this is the largest earthquake to hot Virginia since 5.9 of 1897.
