I had just finished my senior year of high school when that happened, and one of my friends from HS told me he was on the lawnmower when the 'quake happened. He literally had no idea it happened until like an hour later (it was Powhatan, so we felt a pretty good tremor out that way). No idea how much it shook Henrico or Richmond tho.

My parents were devastated by the single lawn chair that had fallen over from the destruction.

I was in a bike shop so I was very aware when literally everything started rattling but I was definitely more confused than scared
