Earthquake in VA

For those of you who haven't heard, we experienced an earthquake that shook the earth on the East coast this afternoon. It was 5.9 mag. and about 40 miles away from Richmond.

As far as I know, there was no damage - just the shaking of the ground for about 30 seconds or so, which helps you remember how incredibly vulnerable we can be.

However, I'm sure the news stations will have a hay day with this for the next week or so....not to mention the impending hurricane ... they will have live coverage of that for the entire weekend too :)
