omg my house was hit by an earthquake, anyone else? im in rockville, md

5.9 magnitude, epicenter 9 miles from Mineral, Virginia. Earthquakes travel farther on the east coast due to geological makeup, plus it had a shallow hypocenter.

i was hit buy the earthquake too i didnt feel it too much but i live in pottstown PA and about half of us felt it
| | |
I'm over in baltimore and this is the first earthquake I've been in. IT WAS AWESOME! Everyone else in my house was running outside, I was just kicking my feet up and laughing. Is that normal?

Maybe it's normal, but since you live in Baltimore, where you have skyscrapers, it probably isn't, since some skyscrapers come down like a Jenga tower.

I heard about the earthquake but i didn't fell it because i'm in havelock ontairo

Well, quakes are expected there. People don't usually associate the East Coast of the USA with quakes, being that it's far from plate boundaries and volcanoes, and are therefore unprepared for it. Plus, due to the geology of the east coast, the quake was felt from Canada to Florida. But I'm a nerd and a geology nut, so I've long known that quakes, even large ones, have happened in the east in the past and would happen again one day, so I am kinda ROFL at people getting overly-excited about it, although I'm sure it sucks for people near the epicenter. I felt a tremoring in the floor with my feet a little over an hour ago and checked the USGS site; sure enough VA had just had a 4.5 aftershock.

As most of you know, Hurricane Irene is going to hit the East Coast. Coincidentally, there was a hurricane that hit the East Coast back in 1944, which was quite devastating. But the coincidence is that before it hit, there was an 5.9 earthquake.
