Actual Earthquake Damage in Moseley Virginia. 8/23/2011

We live about 20 minutes or so from the epicenter in Louisa county, Virginia. I have felt a few earthquakes before but this was the biggest. I believe it was either a 5.8 or 5.9. Items toppeled off of book cases and other surfaces but I just thought I would make a casual video documenting the various cracks we found in our walls and door frames. I would love to hear your stories about the events! Please post in the comment box and share.

While I'm so sorry you had the damage you did...I'm thankful that was all! I live in Mechanicsville so I didn't have any damage. I was more terrified on the 12th story downtown! I have many friends in Louisa and they have all had either things broken (like TV's etc) or actual damage.

@maddiepost1 Yeah I saw some of the damage photos from Louisa and I felt so bad for the people who went through that. My title "actual damage" is just so people don't immediately discredit and dislike my video. I can't imagine experiencing that on the 12th floor of a building. I bet you felt it even worse than we did. Anyway, thanks for the sub and the kind words about my other videos; I really appreciate it. :)

I was at work in Boston. The building was shaking, and they made us go outside where we stood between two buildings. Um, ya! Me and a couple of friends headed for an open parking lot.
