Apparently there was a 5.9 earthquake in Virgina about 20 min ago. The vibrations shot right up the coast and were felt in NY.

And with CT being in the middle we felt it here too,  both my mom and my friend's offices shook badly enough that they were evacuated for a little while.

Strange thing is here at my house we didn't feel anything. I say it's weird because the fault line runs DIRECTLY under my house, I can see where it is if I go outside. (untold centuries back there was an earthquake here that was so bad the tectonic plates cracked and several sections ripped up into cliffs and rock faces and my backyard is basically made up of that. )

Only side effects we seem to be having is that my dog freaked out jumped up lapped the kitchen and then went back to sleep, the cats literally came crying to me, and my brother and I are both a bit dizzy (which I didn't know till my mom called in a panic was a side effect of being in a quake... so if I seem out of it that's why)


I really hope everyone in Virgina is alright my friend and I are both trying to figure out if part of our raid group is from there and how we can get a hold of them to see if they're alright. I hope everyone who felt the effects of said quake outside of Virginia is okay too. I'm gonna go start texting people to make sure they're okay.

You guys let me know if you felt the quake where you were and if you're at or near the epicenter let us know you're okay and how bad it is. I know I'm not the only one who's worried
