Coworker of mine in Annapolis MD felt it.
I felt it in Springfield, MA. COOL! My first earthquake. What a special day.
From the rarely seen Virginia Seismic Zone. Probably the biggest ever recorded there.
All you east coast pansies.... My mom (Philly area) called me up all freaked out. 5.9 is pretty small and a yearly occurrence (if not more often) here on the west coast.
BUT, now when you guys say, "I'd rather have hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms, and lightning to an earthquake" I can retort... well you have those too now, huh?

Everyone at work is talking about it. I didn't feel a damn thing.

Yeah, well when you've lived in New England your entire life and this is the first earthquake you've ever felt, it's kind of cool. 
Seriously? I didn't notice a thing.We had one in Colorado last night .. 5.4 I believe.

I think it was the stock market.
this.
in line at the grocery store...
person: did you feel the earthquake?
me: what?
person: the earthquake...did you feel it?....it's all over facebook.
me: facebook....yeah.....don't think so.
I felt nothing, friend's wife said her building in Boston shook.
We had one on the East Coast about 5-6 years ago that was over a 6.0.Yeah, well when you've lived in New England your entire life and this is the first earthquake you've ever felt, it's kind of cool.
5.8? No 6.0, no care. But in all seriousness, that big on the east coast is troubing mostly because the buildings aren't designed to handle that.
But back to the size... anything less than a 6.0 is mostly just annoying here.

Didn't feel a thing. Now last year... that was a different story.
basically.
Our building shook a little here NC. At first I thought it was a truck going by, but it lasted a lot longer than usual.
Felt it here in Chapel Hill NC (pretty central). My first one too.
How far into the ground do you think that place would fall if it collapsed?
I bet.
i felt it here in north dirty jerz. i thought i was just flashing back for a second until our admin started freaking out. she said she knew something was up when her boobs started shaking. she gave it a 4.2 on the boob scale.
About 20 miles from the epicenter. Was on ground floor slab, didn't really feel anything but heard a rumble and pictures rattled on the walls. Neighbors who were on upper floors said they felt quite a bit of motion.
Pffft. 15 miles outside of Boston and didn't feel ish. After experiencing the 6th largest earthquake in history in Chile last year, I gave it a 'meh'.
well, it's built on a swamp, so who knows
i'm more worried what would happen to their realtime systems when the dedicated glass gets cut b/t there & dayton & OKC. so far, it's held up, but their most sensitive systems aren't in-house
Local nuke plant shut down and running on diesel generators.
