What did you feel?

Talked to my dad, he was around the Tappahanock river about 60 miles east of where they say it hit. Just like the folks on tv said, 6.0 is localized damage but everyone feels it. He was in an old building that just rolled and people at the window said they saw the cars moving, otherwise no real damage. Phones were out but they're back.

The question is, did anyone at the PHF overnight try and take a sledge hammer and finish the job God started?

My question remains unanswered. Was the flight on an A319 (124 seats) or A320 (148 seats)? Most of the longer range mini bus flying in our current schedule that I see is A319.

Felt it. Harrisburg, PA Hilton 9th Floor. I thought someone was rolling a heavy cart down the hall at first.

I had just sat down on the couch to eat lunch (I'm in northeast atlanta around 20 minutes south of the legendary ftb) and it felt like a strong wind hit the house, but I looked outside and the trees weren't moving. Then after that initial hit passed I was getting wiggled on the couch very slightly for about 30 seconds.

So weird...

As far as I know it was done with the A320. DAL has had us do JFK-SAN with a 320 as well. No problem.

Can you see my light gun signals? Best thing I ever stole.


The worse part is they're all just days from possibly a CAT 4 probably 3 hurricane in that area.

Looks like JFK and EWR towers were evacuated. Glad I'm on vacation!

Imagine coming down the river visual and no tower in DCA? In the middle of the day no less? But I think everyone flew up the river to 1 today, looks like Comair landed one right after it hit.

Interesting to look at flightaware and different airports.

Wonder what the RIC and DCA crews felt?

Curious to hear what they felt.
I'm here now and felt it....had just sat down at the International Pancake and Waffle house for lunch. Me and the people sitting next to me were like ***! My first earthquake. My booth was swaying one way and the table another. The telephone poles and lights were swaying also. Pretty weird feeling.
I also am having troubles with cell signal.....mainly texting.

Buddy went around in ORF for the earthquake.

They're talking about the Washington monument is tilting. Wonder if that's accurate?

They're saying JFK and EWR towers evacuated but not LGA.
