[QuadList] OT: 5.9 Quake 35 miles S of Library of Congress-Culpeper, and 35 NNW of Guy Spiller's TR-70's in Midlothian

[Guy Spiller]

All is well here at my place.  I was outside with a tree man talking 
about taking down a dead tree that I'm worried might be blown over onto 
my house in this weekend's possibly big hurricane.
This was my first real earthquake experience. During the "other" one we 
had in '03, I was inside a remote truck (with air ride) shading cameras, 
and didn't feel a thing.
  This one sounded, and felt, like very intense thunder that went on for 
20-30 seconds on arguably, the most perfect weather day we have had 
since spring.
I had planned to do some quad this evening, but I think I will wait 
another day in case there are some aftershocks.
