Didn't so much feel it as hear it. Was in a warehouse looking at some flooring and what sounded like the wind buffeting the siding and roof went on for a few seconds. A guy came running out of another bay over to us and asked what what had just happened and did we feel that? I said eh, it was just the wind lol.
Harrisburg, PA.

Working on 3rd floor of our office building in reading, building shook for a good 10-12 sec.
We are right next to the airport where lots of military choppers land. I thought there was a chinook hovering overhead or something big, lol. Windows and walls were shaking pretty strong, pretty wild stuff.

I was standing right next to a lady at work and she said "Did you feel that?" Couldn't feel it at all, I was disappointed.
