Reports are coming in that an earthquake just hit Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Cleveland. We’ll have more soon.

Yes, there apparently was one up in DC and it was felt all the way here. I didn't feel it but a couple co workers did. Raleigh says they felt it too.

Info:

Magnitude 5.9 - VIRGINIA (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usc0005ild.html - broken link)

I am interested in finding out if that is what made things move here on our deck. I am outside Boone, NC at the moment.

Yes, we had a little shake, I am sitting in a conference room on the third floor in Sanford and we sure felt it.

I felt it in South Charlotte and my DH felt it in Matthews

Please take time to submit your report to that USGS site - they need the accumulated data to make determinations about the nature of the event.

Brooklyn QB - you crack me up!!!! You are in the HEARST tower. Not the HERTZ tower! I felt it in S. Charlotte!

Just heard from our office in NJ, building shook so much they evacuated.
