| It was a rocker. Epicenter in Virginia 5.8. Much larger than most I have felt in California.
Update: I'm on the 5th floor here in D.C. so I felt it good. It started off slow with my desk shaking and I had time to think about what it was, then the shaking intensified, so with my California experience I headed to a door frame, and then it hit pretty hard. I'm guessing 20 seconds of shaking.
The latest: It has been revised to a 5.9 earthquake. The epicenter: Minerals, Virginia.
