(I am refraining from making a nasty comment about it not being worse.)
Yeah, I remember the 5.8 in DC....Alex Jones was pushing the theory that it was an underground nuclear test.

Glad this was pretty minor, shouldn't be a lot of damage.

I keep waiting for the New Madrid to really crank St. Louis like it did about 200 years ago. Only this time it won't be a town of a couple hundred living in shacks and tents.

Californians be like "How adorable, a 4.8!" as they blow coffee out their nose in laughter at their local Starbucks.

Interesting that the deer were laying down out back as they always do, and never moved when the quake hit. Must have felt good. Like someone put a quarter in the earth to get it to shake.

I can't imagine working in NYC during 911 and then feeling this earthquake while in a skyscraper today. I can only imagine what people were thinking.

If higher taxes can stop global warming can they also stop earthquakes?

I thought the building might come down. Our buildings are not designed for earthquakes. I’ve felt a few small ones in NJ but this was by far the strongest and longest one.
