You feel it? Rocked our building here in lovely downtown Raleigh. Very weird feeling.... I'm located off of Salisbury st near the auditorium. Happened about 1:53p.

We felt it in RTP, my family in Apex felt it, and parents in Kernersville. Found it on CNN - 5.8 magnitude centered in VA near DC. But so much internet traffic now, can't get to CNN anymore.

We felt it in Wilson! Scared the crap out of me since I've never felt the entire building move. My monitor and chair shook for about 4-5 seconds.

wife felt it....I admit I was playing slotcars and other *important* stuff on my post-call day, so I was distracted...

Rodney, It wasnt an earthquake, it was the stockmarket crashing due to the national dept.

The phone by my workspace in the lab felt the effects for a while, too. Everybody had to call and get calls from their family members so they'd know there was an earthquake. :lol:

One of my coworkers was on a teleconference call with two people in Philly and one person in Greensboro. Their conversation went something like this:

Philly person #1: (to Philly person #2) "Whoa, do you feel that?"
RTP person: "Yeah, what is it?"
Philly person #1: "What?? You feel it in RTP?"
Greensboro person: "Uh... I feel it, too."
