Wife was in a bed, bath and beyond in Williamsburg - said everything was falling off the shelves.
We felt it here in SE virginia - knocked 2 of the Nuclear Power generators off line. (I assume they have a sensor that kicks them out)

I am working in a new hospital here in Charlottsville Va. it was pretty intense, never been in one before the ground was viberating and it sounded like a train was running over your head. I was outside have'n a smoke leaning on a 26 foot Penske truck and it started rocking side to side.
They evacuated the new building and shut us down for the day so something good came from it, early day!
They say the epicenter was about 60 miles from us.
All in all it was kinda cool

Some damage to buildings in Fredericksburg, Va., my sisters office in town had the ceiling collapse in her conference room and some bricks come out of the wall.
