I saw "5.8 earthquake in VA" and my first thought was "I wonder if they felt that..."

At 1:09 am eastern time I think we just had an aftershock. Good little shake for about 5 seconds followed by a more prolonged rolling feeling. Anybody else feel that? Only had a couple beers earlier this evening, pretty sure I'm not drunk enough to be imagining it.

One time my German Shepherd was lying against the foot of my bed when I was asleep and started scratching herself, I thought it was an earthquake.

Let me save you all some time...

I'm not crazy, and I have datalogs to prove it!

Edit: USGS is calling this one a magnitude 4.5.

Doesn't count...too low of a sampling frequency.

But cool story bro.

how do animals know an earthquake is coming? are they smarter than us? do they have some sort of app for their smart phones? does Joe Perez know too then?
