    I was forging, trying to place a crate, and the chair I was sitting on started to shake! Then the whole room! I ran downstairs and the pots I have hanging up were swinging and clanging together. Turns out it was a 5.9 quake near Richmond, VA.

    Did anyone else feel it?

    I was close by, but I didn't feel it. I live in Virginia Beach, so I was right in the thick of it.

    I was just sitting here and **** started shaking. I thought it was the end, and to my brief disappointment, it was not.

    I was sitting in my kitchen and all of a sudden the house started shaking. I thought it was the wind cause I live on top of a big hill and that sometimes happens. I thought it was happening a little to long for wind butbpaid not attention to it. Then my mom called and asked I I was ok and told me it was an earthquake. I was like yeah I'm fine and kept eating. Day unaffected.
