Didn't you folks have one last summer about this time? I had relatives in NJ telling me about it. Hope everyone there is OK.

It's breaking news. How bad was it?

And is the President ok?

[Satan]

Thom Hartman - who broadcasts from Washington DC these days- was on the air when it happened. Apparently they were even feeling this one up in New York.

They're now calling it a 6.0 and saying the epicenter was Charlottesville VA.

CNN has 5.8 also. That's a biggin.

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.8 struck near Washington, D.C., the U.S.Geological Survey said.

The epicenter was in Virginia. The U.S.G.S is saying that

The quake was felt in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New York, and on Martha's Vineyard where President Barack Obama is vacationing. Cell phone service has been disrupted in New York City where parts of Manhattan have been evacuated.

"Everybody was told to take the stairs," Wolf Blitzer said, speaking live at 2 p.m. E.T. from CNN's D.C. bureau.

The Pentagon has been evacuated, CNN's Barbara Starr reports. "When the building began shaking rather violently, hundreds of people began streaming out," she said, because many people thought that the building was under attack. Starr was standing in the Pentagon's press office when the roof started to shake.

Living with the aftershock

News is a little slow comin out for some reason. Everyone must be in Libya.


Twitter traffic suggests the quake was felt all over the east coast.

In Philadelphia, HunterPence3 tweeted, "Wow Earthquake just shook the entire locker room!"

In Cleveland, "tribeinsider" wrote "I'm no expert but i think we just had an earthquake here."

And even in Toronto, tweets said that the shaking could be felt for minutes

Besides, I don't think a 5.8 is going to create that big of a tsunami, nohow.

Not if you believe the movies on the Sy-Fy channel. Just be glad there are no giant raptors running about.

Earthquakes used to be a rarity on the East coast, but not so much anymore. Wonder why that is?

Might have something to do with that ridiculous "fracking" process they use to get natural gas out of the ground.
