Earthquake in the Philly area?
Sitting in my office in Blue Bell and my building just shook for about 10 seconds. Did anyone else experience this?

Yup. Up and down the east coast. Shook for maybe 4-5 seconds. Originated from Virginia.

Never experienced one up until today.
That was definitely odd and I'm in no rush to experience another one any time soon.

First earthquake for me. My puppy knew something was wrong like 10 seconds before it happened. She started to go crazy.

My dog was useless in warning, but it was extremely odd, probably registering sub 1.0 in my area, so nothing real big...

Wild. Building across from me in Old City was shaking too. Now I can say I survived an earthquake.

I don't think that was the shakeup they were talking about in Washington.

This has me swamped at work, but here's a quick update: It was located in Mineral, VA. Magnitude between 5.8 and 6. It was felt as far north as NH, as far south as Georgia, and in Detroit.
