I'm just across the river from D.C. in Vienna, VA.
The entire house shook. Deep rumbling and shaking that lasted . . .
I was in a big one in Burma/Myanmar a few years ago. Ground split and buildings collapsed. Hairy.
It is always an awe-inspiring experience, tho. You feel it in your gut when it's close.
We felt this one. Still waiting to hear of any damage.
