[Chaos-l] Earthquake - Goochland/Refractor Event

[Terry Crook]

Yep, I felt it here in Chapel Hill at about1:48PM EDT.  Three waves with 
my chair moving a little side-to-side, maybe twice & then two more waves 
with similar motions.
My first tho't was the passing of a large truck close by, but when there 
were a 2nd & 3rd wave, I realized it must have been a 'quake. Others 
upstairs (I was in a walk-out basement room) felt their desks & counters 
shake, etc.
I understand the Pentagon & White House were evacuated as were air 
traffic control towers on the East Coast.
We've had mini-quakes here before as well as in Grtr Boston (in the 
mid-'40s).
