Altavista, VA - People felt the earthquake trembles in nearly every building in downtown Altavista.
People inside the library said that building shook for about two minutes. Those inside the Altavista Art and Antiques say they felt it for one minute.
"The whole building started to shake. At first I thought there was a malfunctioning in some of our air conditioning equipment, but then it kept going on and on," said Lillian Farling, a resident.
Phone service in the area temporarily malfunctioned as well. People were unable to dial phone calls out for a period of time.
