Magnitude 4.5, looks like 25 miles west of Richmond.

Okay, back to my shower.

Well I am in the Brook Road area and it was much longer than 5 seconds -- at least 15 - 20 IMHO. It also shook our whole building a lot. Pens and stuff rolled off desks but not falling pictures or anything.

I was at my doctor's office in Fairfax City - a few minutes after 4:00 P.M., it sounded like someone was up on the roof as there was some crumbling in the attic. We both looked at each other with puzzled looks on our faces. About 25 minutes later, I was driving home and heard the reports of the earthquake. On the radio report, Charlottesville and Fairfax City were mentioned as being some of the locations where the earthquake was felt - and reported.

Not when you don't know what's happening. I was pretty confused and then frightened. Looking back on it though, I think it was pretty neat.

I felt it in Rockville, MD. I had no idea what it was. It was just a very light rumbling that lasted maybe 30 seconds.
