Was in Washington, PA earlier on business which is between Wheeling and Pittsburgh. I felt it in the building I was in for a quick second.

I was right downtown in my office, didn't even notice it.

Other people in my office got a bit skittish and skedaddled, I didn't even move and it was quiet there for 15 minutes before they came back in.

I didn't feel anything at all at my primary employer's site in East Liberty, but several of our customers reported feeling the shaking in both Homewood and Oakland. My father's office building in Metropolitan Scranton was evacuated. I did, however, feel the last earthquake that VA had just last year. It woke me up.

I was sitting on my porch talking to my mother-in-law when I felt something strange, like a ghost bumping across the front of the house behind our chairs, and actually glanced over to see what it was. My mother-in-law thought a cat had bumped into her chair and looked behind it almost at the same moment. Of course there was no cat and no ghost - just the shockwave moving across the porch. It wasn't until hours later I realised what it must have been.

I normally don't notice subtle things. I was sitting next to my restless 11 yr old and figured he was making the couch shiver. However, he was sitting still and did not feel it. I immediatley knew it was a earthquake-lite event. It was really insignificant.

Yes I felt it! I was sitting at my computer in Celina, Ohio and felt 2 jolts not hard but caught my attention real fast! My 1 year old Black Lab came off the couch and started barking not at the door or the windows just looking straight at me like, Mom what just happened? It totally scared me and I sit there for a minute thinking if someone tells me there was an earthquake today I am gonna freak out! That's exactly what happen my neighbor pulls up on her golf cart and said did you feel the earthquake today? That Blowed my mind...

We had some construction guys in our office today and one of them was walking across the floor (heard his toolbelt) as the tremors were hitting. My first thought was, "that guy must be huge" -- it felt like someone walking really, really hard on a not-so-stable floor.
