Holy smokies....east coast ....5.8 centered in VA http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usc0005ild.html

May 5th 1897 last major quake in the area. When was that New Madrid movement last?

Felt as far north as Toronto. 10 seconds long in Philly. Manhattan moderate.

Is this fracked up? Several Nuclear plants put on alert.

I think there was one in Colorado earlier today....small tremors in California.

Are we right in the middle? YIKES!?

We have an office in VA.  They said that the shelves rattled a bit.  Nothing major.

Travelers will be feeling this the most. Gridlock. It's time like these in the Northeast that lead to population increases.

Good dress rehearsal and wake up call.....

A quake hitting D.C. is a sign.  God hates deficits and debt.  Get to work on that deficit reduction boys & girls.

If He's trying to stop Inhofe, we may all be doomed.

They say it's now a 5.9- What makes it serious is that none of the buildings, roads and bridges are made quake resistant along the east coast as they are in California. They had a quake in Colorado yesterday, a rare place for a quake. Reports have said that skyscrapers rocked in Columbus, Ohio & Indianapolis. :o

Just wait someone will blame the quake on global warming.

Why would someone do that?  What do you know?

Teatownclown

Maybe climate change. ;)

It was felt at Martha's Vineyard. So, you think it could be an omen?

Conan, "God hates deficits and debt"....you just confirmed you know zilch about economics. Thanks. ;D

New Madrid could be huge....someday. That will be the fault of the South.

National Cathedral had damage and it may be structurally significant. This is referred to as The National Church.

Conan, your assertion that "A quake hitting D.C. is a sign" makes me wonder.... ;)

Hey, D.C. is our den of sin-izens.  Makes Lost Wages look like Romper Room ;)

I think it's all the fracking going on nearby.... :)

I think you missed my point. If it's a sign, one from "god", then he's trying to remind people (sin-izens et al.)
the church may not be stable. :D
