Not nuts.

5.8 quake shakes, VA, DC and NY.

There is headlines on some of the news sites about it but no articles yet.

Felt it here. Wife said the courthouse shook pretty bad (she's on the 11th floor). Pretty good rumble at ground level where I'm at, very near RDU.

Felt it here. First I thought I was imagining things or maybe a big truck rolled by outside since they are working on the building next door. Then I felt it again and noticed my windows were creaking. Just heard from the folks on the floor that the lights where swaying.

Crazy, considering how far away we are.
