Creepy. They just had one in Colorado today, close to the strongest quake ever felt there. 5.3.

Wow, I just got hit with it. Looked around for a minute or two wondering who the hell was shaking my chair. Then people around me are saying earthquake.

 Initial reports state it was a 5.1-5.8 quake. No reports of damages.

Is there supposed to be an aftershock, and if so, how long after the first is it usually?

Entire house shaking like it was Jello down in Virginia Beach, even if it was just for a minute. Apparently it originated somewhere between Charlottesville and Richmond as a 5.8. Damn mole people.
