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

My alarm had just gone off so I was awake in bed. Felt it shaking, but I had no idea why until a coworker told me. I had my earplugs in so I didn't hear anything.

I also thought it was a truck.
But No headlights.
Then I thought it was a pump on the side of the house.
Then it stopped.
But yeah, I felt it for sure.
3.4
Earlier it was reported that he epicenter had been pinpointed down to a certain block in Germantown but now I can't find that info.
ETA
According to the USGS guy in this video, it was the largest recorded earth quake in this area and the epicenter was the 19000 block of Forest Brook Road in Germantown.Last edited by Zen; 07-16-2010 at 11:51 AM.

I slept through it, but my friend who is visiting from Idaho woke up to it. It's an event filled trip for her - we saw two black bears the other day along skyline drive.

I'm too far to have felt it, but there are occasionally small earthquakes west of Richmond. There have been several in the last few years.

Congrats, all!
BTW, the first earthquake I ever experienced was while I was still living right outside of Boston, it was centered in southern Maine.
No place is completely immune.
