I know Baron and his immediate family were in that area last I had any contact with him-- along with my family too. If you guys have any loved ones there, my Mom just told me that the area was definitely shaken, but she doesn't think it was enough to kill anyone.
I tell you what-- talk about someone's heart pounding!

I have a friend that is working in N.C. and she felt it. Being from Texas, she said it scared the crud out of her. (and she has a lot of crud! LOL!) Dina now wants to come home to Texas....TONIGHT!
Live in Prince George's County in Maryland, was at work in DC. Wasn't one of the lucky ones that got to evacuate and go home. The DC area seems fine, traffic is going to be hectic because there are some major roads being inspected. At work we were already watching the news because of the situation in Libya. We felt the quake (it was a little bit insane to feel). My first real earthquake. Thank God for the name of Jesus, that's really all I could say. He is a wonder. I haven't heard any reports of injuries or deaths even in VA near the epicenter. Praying this good news continues.
Also please keep DC Police in your prayers. I am hearing rumors that inmates are trying to escape at a local prison. Not sure about the validity of those rumors, but it never hurts to be safe.
Have family in VA. Shook my nephew out of bed, his mom said it shook her truck real bad, so she turned around and went home.

And, to think a hurricane is headed in that general direction...
I'd be high-tailing it out of there for about the next week or so. Who knows with quakes? Aftershocks usually follow, then to worry about a 'cane in another few days...
As one friend put it on FB, it wasn't a quake. It was our forefathers rolling in their graves. LOL! Oh, wait...that's for another thread...
I have family in Maryland/DC and Virginia...I always tell them to move to California :-)
