Jarring Experience

Wow!  That certainly got my attention!  About 20 minutes ago my house started shaking like a tree was going to fall right on top of the middle of it!  I ran into the hall, waiting for it to hit, while the dishes rattled and the house shook worse than it did when the biggest of trees in the area has fallen, but "the tree" never hit the ground.  Turns out it was an earthquake in VA that registered 5.9 and shook things up all the way up to NYC at least!  No damage here that I know of it, but it surely was exciting!
