Earthquake
The craziest thing happened a couple of hours ago. We here in New Jersey just had a magnitude 5 earthquake! I was at work leaning on a counter when the counter started swaying! I thought someone was behind me messing around then I got really lightheaded as if I was on a boat swYing back and forth! Craziest thing I've ever felt!

We were woken one morning by the earth moving. It's a really weird feeling isn't it? Strange though, I knew straight away it was an earthquake, watching the end of my bed swaying and the wardrobe rocking was very odd.

Wow that is kinda creepy. Glad you are ok. Was there any serious damage? Didn't feel anything here in Kansas. What all states did it impact?

The quake was a 5.8 and started in Virginia. It was felt from Canada to Georgia. No real damage but it lasted about a minute. It was the strangest feeling.

I can imagine it's really unsettling to feel it. Glad there was no real damage.
