3. It actually was centered closer to WV than DC.

Epicenter was in Mineral, VA: 87mi from DC due W and 45mi from Richmond due NW.

My friends and family are saying they felt it as far away as Brockton, MA and Bristol, CT.

4. Time to get out of my rickity bldg with asbestos in the floors/ceiling!

Sweet shit. I wouldn't be concerned if I wasn't in such a rat hole of a place.

Clever picture. Bloomberg news has not shut up about it since they felt it. They just don't get earthquakes out there.
