Arlington/Springfield Virginia folks...did you just feel that?
I work in Arlington and our whole office just shook for about 5 seconds. I was talking on the phone with somebody in Springfield (about 8 miles away) and they said they felt it too.
14. i just heard her voicemail and she was very freaked out
I called her after seeing this thread, not realizing she'd already called me and left a voicemail on my cell phone. If it spooked her as much as it sounded like it did, it had to be pretty loud.
15. WTOP now reporting that the blasting at Ft Belvoir began earlier than scheduled
explaining the booms we felt up here. Damn...that's 15 miles away. Feeling that through the unconsolidated sediments underlying most of this area speaks to the size of the explosions.
The USGS has confirmed a magnitude 1.8 "micro" earthquake occurred near Annandale, VA at 1:30pm. There have been no reports of damage or injuries. OEM/LCS
