Woke me right up and scared the crap out of me. I had to go make sure it wasn't some car that had run into my house!
Of course the news says it was centered where I am, and I think it may have been centered in my back yard.

I was getting ready to head to the pool when the rumbling started. You could both feel and hear it in Arlington. Lasted several seconds. At first, thought it was a plane, although National Airport doesn't open until 6am. USGS apparently reported a 3.6 quake w/the epicenter in Gaithersburg.

Not me--I slept right through, but lots of my neighbors and friends (some way further away from the epicenter than I am) felt and heard it. I'm irritated--I would have liked to have experienced that!
My son woke up right around that time, but we're so used to him waking up at odd times that we didn't consider why he may have awoken.

I was just drifting back to sleep after getting out of bed briefly. DH jumped out of bed, "What was that??" Thought it was a truck. It coincided with our a.c. unit (which is right outside out bedroom window) cycling down, so paranoid me thought it was our a.c. failing in dramatic fashion.

Wonder when the aftershock will occur?
I thought it was a plane.

Already did. I was just in a meeting with a woman who lives in Germantown and she said they felt a mild aftershock about 15 minutes after the main quake. Originally Posted by pfunk12
