Did you felt it? Any damages?
We felt it all the way here in east PA, too small for any damages but a bit scary none the less.

Hit NY and other states too, 5.8, they are evacuating the capital now.

I'm in upstate N.Y. And we didn't feel anything.

It seems that so far there's only structural damages and only around 30 miles from the center of the quake. I hope everyone is safe. 5.9 is strong enough to bring down buildings.

I felt it here in South East NC. Nothing was damaged though, the house just rocked a little.

They are saying on FOX that the Washington Monument is tilting a little bit.

The National Cathedral reportedly has damage to 3 of the 4 spires of the main tower which itself appears to have shifted, according to early reports. DC commuter traffic is reported in chaos. The local TV stations haven't shown such wall-to-wall coverage since the last major snowfall of the past winter. Hurricane Irene is up next ... film at 11.

For a moment there I thought the earth finally opened and swallow the phillies.

No. That was just a rumor.

Welcome to California.

Thats what I was thinking. Grew up randomly waking up in the night and reading about a 3.0 or somewhat the next day. Often that happened.

But seriously, hope there are no injuries!

Me and my family are ok. Live relatively close to the epicenter but we are good

Everything's good here.

Great to hear, at first you have no clue what's going on. I understood why we felt it all the way here, I actually thought that the earthquake happened here, once I heard it happened that far away I feared the worse. I learned a lot about earthquakes today.
we had one near carini Sicily a long time ago, I was too young to remember, but we do get earthquakes in Italy, the last one at aquila was really bad.
