Earthquake hits US, Canada

My mum immediately sent me a email after this happened to let me know that it had happened and that she was okay. I hope everyone that experience this is okay and that there's not more of this to come. I almost feel bad that I'm away from home at times like this
 
When I felt everything shake, I freaked out. I thought New York wasn't supposed to get these. Thankfully so far no injuries were reported.

Considering nobody died from this and the only thing we got is people running outside losing their fucking minds over a few shakes, I think this rating seems appropriate
 
I slept through it. The hell? I must be a pretty deep sleeper. To sleep through dogs barking, and to sleep through a mild shake!

Because, It was felt over the entire East Coast as for as Chicago. 5.8 is the largest in Virginia, so it's scary because if it was worse....The entire coast could have gotten hit hard.

Is this really what America has come too? A reporter on CNN just said "When I first felt it I first thought it was a terrorist attack." WTF?! A mini earthquake and you automatically think terrorists? Unless you count God as a terrorist.

To be fair, if you live in a place where these kinds of quakes almost never happen, it's not unreasonable to equate "ground shaking wildly" with "something big exploded somewhere near-by".

Hell, that was my first thought when I felt it.
