My first earthquake that I was awake for. 
It was a 5.9 that hit just north of richmond VA. Lots of states felt it even NY and canada felt it.
At first I thought it was underground blast, but it felt longer than usual.
What you think of your first experience earthquake?
I know ppl from the west is feeling like this is nothing.

Im here about 15 mile south of Baltimore and my whole house started shaking as i was sitting on my couch with my 3 week old son in my arms. I felt a small vibration grow into a rather intense shaking as panic started to set into my fiance. I rushed outside to see that all my neighbors were doing the same in disbelief i have felt smaller earthquakes in the past but this one was by far the strongest. Just thought I would share my experience with Neloc.

dude, that shiz was crazy. i jumped into the nearest doorway cuz i recalled something from my kindergarten class telling me to do that... i can't imagine what they went through in japan, that would have been very very scary.

I am here in the City at work. First I felt the floor moved on the 11th FL I thought it was my chair and attempted to move my feet which didn't stop the movement so I hold my stomach thinking it was a tummy rumble then the lights in the sealing started shaking for about 20 seconnds.
All I could think of was my love ones.
There were ppl in my office who did not one to evacuate, I didn't waste much time on them as I was already heading for the staircase.

Guys we felt it up here in Philly too. It was quick but shocking. I've never felt an earthquake before. I was driving in my company truck at a red light. It felt like a tractor trailer wiz by you at a real high speed. Well thats what i thought it was......................but then i realized i was stopped.............at a RED LIGHT!!!! Kinda fun/weird/different all at the same time....
