In RVA, about forty miles from Mineral, quake's epicenter. Sustained shock, quite noticable. I was teaching and had my kids out the door within seconds; I was the only teacher in the building who had ever been in a quake. The screws in the ductwork in the classroom next door came out, and we had several flourescent lights come out of the fixtures and crash to the floor thru the building.

My first thought, once I found out the epicenter, was the two Nuclear plants right on top of it. They're shut down for now.
