I'm from Richmond, Va. Had a friend call me who works at Chippenham Hospital Southside Richmond. She felt the building shake --thought something had hit the building but everyone o.k. She said it was "surreal". Finally got through and talked to my son and granddaughter. (Cell phones and phones were down for a while) He works Southside Richmond as well and was taking a nap at lunchtime in his VW Bus---woke up--thought someone was shaking his bus. My granddaughter was in Henrico County (West End of Richmond)---was outside of school as she was taking an early class---didn't feel anything but teachers ran out of school and made all the children get away from the buildings/awnings, etc. Just glad everyone is o.k.!!! Still have other friends/lots of family there but from the news reports, think everything is o.k. at the moment.
