Don't know. We are getting heavy rain by the weekend - Hurricane coming. The quake must have been centered around DC and we felt it here 200 miles away. Only lasted 10 - 15 seconds, gentle quake though nothing severe.

MSNBC has been evacuated. Holy cow.

I have the news on. No damage reports right now but because they are not prepared for this, most buildings are being evacuated.
