My niece lives 30 miles from the epicenter in Virginia. We are friends on FB. She is fine. Said it was terrifying when the light over her kitchen table started to sway and things started to shake.

My stepdaughter lives outside of Baltimore, MD, and said she felt it too. The Pentagon has been evacuated and JFK was shutdown. All of the National Musuems in DC were evacuated. There are several nuclear power plants that was taking precautions.

My 91 year old dad, who lives in the far western corner of Virginia said he didn't feel anything. He lauged when I called to ask and said, "I have been awake all day and didn't feel anything."
