There has been an earthquake which may have been centered in the Washington, DC area. The earthquake was felt as far north as New York City. I can report that it was felt as far south as Raleigh. I hope there has been no serious damage.
Update: The earthquake was apparently centered near Louisa and Mineral, VA, which, I believe, is a fairly lightly populated area but not far from Richmond and Charlottesville. It was a magnitude 5.9.
Further update: This is apparently the biggest earthquake in the recorded history of the state of Virginia. What happened at Social Security headquarters? I have heard that the Pentagon and many other government buildings in Washington were evacuated.
By the way, please, no smug comments from Californians.
Further update: Social Security headquarters have closed for the day because of the earthquake.

The Commish decided that the engineers should double-check the structural integrity of the buildings so he sent folks home.

Good guess. LOL I typed that as I was shutting down my PC. That's what happens when you do things in a hurry. Best thing is it saved me two hours leave, since I had a leave slip in to leave early today.
