In York, PA. Shook the whole office building. Knocked over some tools on my desk and had the coffee moving in the pot.

That's my first earthquake so it was quite exciting, for lack of a better word. It was probably a drop in the bucket for a CA resident but this is quite rare in my neck of the world. The buildings around here are not built to deal with earthquakes.

Was getting out of the work truck and stepping into the shop. Everything started shaking we have a lot of 32-48' ladders and everything shaking over my head. We all ran out and were like what the ****? This is in Springfield, VA.

Brother in richmond said it was about 30 seconds long for him. Lot of shaking in his office thought something about was about to come through the roof.

Crazy ****!
