[AT] east coast earthquake

[charlie hill]

I don't know just how hard it shook here.  As I said before, I didn't fell 
well (got to hot yesterday) so I decided to take a nap after lunch.  I was 
dead asleep when I thought I heard something like a distant thump kind of 
like when a big limb falls from a tree in the night.  Still partly asleep I 
felt the sofa moving and decided my little Jack Russell must have jumped on 
the sofa with me.  I looked and didn't see him, ignored it but kept feeling 
the motion.  I opened my eyes again and thinking back on what I had heard 
and felt I wondered if my neighbors big yellow lab had paid me a visit and 
plopped down on the floor near the door which I had left open for the 
breeze.  I got up and looked but Cody was no where to be seen.  I went back 
to the sofa and then noticed the Pepsi in my glass was sloshing a bit.   The 
initial shake must have been larger than what I observed after I was awake 
or I don't think it would have awakened me.  I guess the whole thing was 
less than 20 seconds or at least what I was aware of was less than 20 
seconds.

Charlie I felt it in Richlands, NC.  I was at my desk and noticed the 
bookshelf behind me was moving and I could hear "bumping."  First thought 
was that the maintainance dept. was changing a/c filters on the roof.  Then 
it dawned on me that the bookshelf would not wiggle if that was the 
case.....didn't really put it together 'till I saw the news reports.
