Felt it here (Orleans). There was a definite centrifuge forming in my tea cup. I was checking emails when it felt like the room was spinning like I was going to pass out. When I stopped very still I realized it wasn't me it was everything around me. Lasted only a few minutes. Apparantly the centre was down in Virginia.

We had an earthquake last summer that was much closer and more noticeable both in movement and sound. Kids were napping then too and I wondered the same question as well as what was better - do you go to the basement or the front lawn. I know it depends on what else is around you.
