The earth shook in Akron around 2 p.m. Tuesday and it seems just about everyone felt it.And those who didn’t felt like they missed the fun.Once the ground stood still, scores of office workers scrambled from many of Akron’s downtown buildings and rescue workers fanned out to answer countless calls from panicked residents.In the end, there was no reported damage – aside from frayed nerves from the magnitude-5.8 quake centered northwest of Richmond, Va.Akron emergency dispatchers received anywhere from 50 to 60 calls after the quake.“People were just calling saying things were shaking and wanting to know if there was anything they needed to be aware of,” said Akron police Lt. Rick Edwards.Akron attorney Jana DeLoach was in the fourth-floor library at the old Summit County Courthouse when the tremor struck. Bookshelves shook, and startled attorneys looked at each other.“Everything was shaking for more than a minute,” DeLoach said. “It was bizarre. I never felt anything like that before.’’Karen Lefton, an attorney with Brouse McDowell in downtown Akron, was on the phone with people from North Carolina. “My building was shaking and I was on the phone with people in North Carolina whose building was shaking as well,” said Lefton, who has represented the Akron Beacon Journal in legal matters.About 15 residents called Bath Township to report the tremors. Police then checked for damage and found none. They also put out the information on their Twitter and Facebook accounts.“Our guys were being pretty proactive, checking bridges,” said Bath Township emergency dispatcher Jamie Emerson. “We did receive a few phone calls, so we went ahead and Twittered and Facebooked that we felt it here. But there’s no reports of damage at all.”Employees in the administrative offices in Coventry Township said windows and pictures started moving, and they could feel the vibration from the earthquake.Beacon Journal Browns beat writer Nate Ulrich reported feeling the quake at the team’s facility in Berea.Scores of U.S. journalists and others reported via Twitter that the quake was felt from the East Coast to the Midwest.“Earthquake felt here at Indians game,” tweeted Associated Press sportswriter Tom Withers. “Press box moved for nearly 30 seconds.”The University of Akron also tweeted: “Did you feel the earthquake? Hearing lots of reports of it here on the Akron campus.”And the folks at Crain’s Cleveland Business also tweeted: “Oh, the humanity – brave souls head back inside their downtown buildings as the excitement subsides.”A Cuyahoga Falls resident reported a door swayed in her home, and a Randolph Township resident reported feeling her Portage County house shake.In downtown Ravenna, the Riddle Block Building, which houses the county probation department, was evacuated. It was inspected for damages, said Sheriff David Doak.Doak was at the Portage County Randolph Fair when the tremor struck and felt no aftershocks.“There was no [tremor] activity here. And that’s a good thing,” he said.Kent State University evacuated its main library as a precaution. Rittman resident Barb Halliwell was in the middle of a chemotherapy treatment in Medina when the bags of fluid started shaking.She was at Summa Health Center at Lake Medina, receiving treatment for breast cancer, when the tremor hit. It didn’t have an impact on the procedure, but it certainly startled her and the folks treating her.“We couldn’t figure out what it was,” she said.Akron-based FirstEnergy’s three nuclear power plants in northern Ohio and eastern Pennsylvania were unaffected by Tuesday’s earthquake, spokesman Todd Schneider said.The earthquake was centered far enough away in Virginia that it didn’t trigger warning alarms at plants in North Perry and Oak Harbor in Ohio and Shippingport northwest of Pittsburgh, he said.“All three plants continue to operate safely and reliably at 100 percent power,” Schneider said.Employees at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant and Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station in Shippingport reported feeling the earthquake, Schneider said. Those plants underwent inspections Tuesday afternoon as a precaution.“Our plants are designed to withstand earthquakes,” he said.
