Felt it PITTSBURGH! About 30 seconds. I felt it our home in Crafton PA. My wife is at work about 5 miles away and felt it there as well. In my living room the lamps were moving and you cold fell the floor move when I walked out to the balcony.

Mrs p6 said it was similar at her workplace near Carlynton High School.

So it wasn’t my imagination!

If the center was DC, perhaps it was precipitated when a politician told the truth.

Glad you two (and all) are okay!

Felt two, quick heavy jolts out here in the hinterlands of Westmoreland County. Husband felt it at his workplace in New Stanton; one son is home from HS and the light standards swayed, classroom tvs shook.

I’m off on Tuesdays and our dog is upset. He yelped in the moments BEFORE I felt the first ‘pop’ then the second (rocked under our feet). He is either not over it, or spooked that something else is up.
