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 did; it was rumbly!)

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.

Getting in touch with my inner try-athlete.
Wonder when the aftershock will occur? I thought it was a plane.

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.
Ignorance is bliss.

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.

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.

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.
That was in Kalidurga's area I think and not so far from my old neighborhood. Everything OK up there? My sister (in Rockville) slept through it, but said her cats were weird all night - thinks they sensed something.
