I'm in Burlington City and we got it too. That was crazy
Only thing I can find online is a 5.8 that was centered somewhere in Virginia

5.9 centered in Central VA.
I was in the gym in the other building and all of us in there didn't feel a thing. I walked out and everybody was outside on the phone and I had no idea why.

Exactly what time did this happen? I didn't feel a damn thing, so I'm wondering why that is.

Thought the guys on the desk next to me were shaking things, and then thought something fell into the wall next door.
Was pretty cool.

I was standing in the shop at work next to one of our bigger boom trucks. It started shaking like someone was jumping on the back corner and I thought to myself "theres no way someone can make it shake that bad!"
So I walked around the truck, no one was there and it kept swaying for a few more seconds. I thought it was kinda cool.
