Sat here contemplating ducking under my workdesk and instead watched the picture frame on the wall rattle for about a minute...
Knew exactly what it was when it started and kept going for more than ten seconds, still kind of in mild shock like "What... seriously...?" This is the second earthquake I've ever felt and the longer/bigger of the two.
They said it was a 5.8 to 5.9 centered in Mineral, VA closer to Richmond/D.C./Charlottesville, felt as far as NYC and NC. No significant damage reported. Cellphones downish. That's all.
