Earthquake in Richmond, VA - August 23, 2011

"Did you feel that?"

That was the text I got from my wife just a few minutes ago.

I was on the phone upstairs in our house in Midlothian, Va, just west of Richmond, when the whole house started to shake. At first I thought that the noise was simply the garage door going up, but then the house started to rock back and forth and pictures on the wall started to vibrate.

I was on the phone with my Dad who lives 20 min further west, and he was experiencing it at the same time.

Foxnews just announced that a 5.8 quake has been recorded off the east coast.
