i have no idea how big it was, but things shook a lot....at least as far as someone who has lived in VA their whole life is concerned. i can't find any reports yet, but it was only 10 minutes ago.

 

What? What? What are you talking about?

 

Oh HEEEEEEELL YEAH!!! We *definitely* had some shakin' goin' on here in Richmond, VA.

My sisters down in Chester felt it as well.

Radio call-ins down southeast of RIC airport mentioned it as well as further south in Colonial Heights.

Also folks in Lynchburg, VA were reporting in.

Pretty-big

Yes, we just felt the earthquake here in the East End . I work on the 2nd floor and the floor as well as my chair shook for a second or two, then a pause and another SHAKE only this one was shorter. Everybody was like WTF?!?!?

Felt it here....... the news is saying it was a 4.5.
Apparently it was pretty wide spread.
Scary stuff
