I was standing actually very close to the White House, just having come out of a meeting nearby, when the DC earthquake hit. It was a bit jolting because it was so unexpected. The east coast in general not known for quakes.
at first I wondered if a bomb had gone off in the metro (which I was directly over), but when I saw people start streaming out of the buildings within 30-45 seconds, it was apparent. The ground shook for maybe 6 or 7 seconds? I was never panicked...its just unexpected in DC...the epicenter however was in rural Virginia some 90 miles away.
