Wow! My First Earthquake and it's in DC

Holly schnikeys!!! just went through my first earthquake and it happened in Washington DC. We don't get earthquakes. Centered in WV, they felt it in NYC. My house was rocking. It was a 5.8.

It was a 5.8. Last time I was in one in Cali they told me I missed it because I was walking. This one knocked pictures off the wall.

5.8 is nothing in SoCal, could be a big deal there, without seismic building codes.
