I will now be joining in on the conversations on this board. If anyone remembers me from the disney boards, I was a moderate to light poster there during the 2009 season while I was unemployed. Once I got a job I stopped posting and sorted through the board to find the useful information.

Another Hokie in Pittsburgh? Have we met? Do you frequent Archies for games?

No and No, but i should.
I have been up here since late 2009, and last season I either went to home games or watched away games at my place since I had neighbors who were also Hokies. There are more Hokies in Pittsburgh than you think. My roommate now is one and there are a decent amount where I work.

I felt it in my office north of Pittsburgh, PA. Kind of an uneasy loss of balance feeling. It seems like only the people on the higher floors of the building felt it here.

 

[hunzworth]

didnt feel much/anything where im at (right on the NC/va line) but i hear that bburg and surrounding areas felt it pretty good.

 

[NickVT10]

Nothing fell in our office but the computer monitors were rocking and you could feel the building sway a bit. No doubt what it was.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Felt it a little here in Pittsburgh.....

Folks are alright, just staying out of DC...

 

[hunzworth]

hearing that there are "unconfirmed" reports that the Washington monument is now slightly leaning.

 

[NickVT10]

I read they shut down the metro in DC. It will be a nightmare for people trying to get home. Many drive to the outskirts and take the metro into town.

We definitely felt in here in the office. Had a bunch of people calling in to say they felt it too.

 

[757Hokie83]

felt it here on the eastern shore, my sister in culpeper said a Target collapsed, and a few other bldgs have some damage

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

DC radio is reporting some ofthe spires on the Nat. Cathedral are messed up. I still have bot found anything on the Culpeper Target thing.

 

[EvanGWatkins]

felt it and evacuated from work here in the 757

 

[Taz_Hokie]

Felt it for a bit in Columbia, MD. Was only maybe 5-8 seconds of a slight tremor, but still felt kind of weird.

 

[Hokie200proof]

I was in downtown DC, 12 th floor. Can't confirm anything about the monument, but getting out of the city was like 911 all over again. They evacuated all of the buildings around us and pretty much ended work at 3pm.

We felt it pretty strong, about 30 seconds long. Not enough to knock you off your feet, but one of the large windows in a corner office cracked in half and stuff fell everywhere. It started with a really loud POP and everypne assumed it was a bomb or something else. Too strange to think it was an earthquake. Cell phones were useless almost immediately. Traffic jammed up in every direction. MEtro and VRe trains crawled home as they inspected the tracks as they went along.

Just proves again to me that if there is ever a life threatening event in DC... I'm fucked. We cant evac worth shit.
