Did you check on the dog BEFORE you checked on your wife??? :lol:I felt it in Northern New Jersey. I was sitting at my desk,
and clearly felt the quake. Ran downstairs to check on my dog -
he was fine.
USGS update now has the quake at a depth of 1 km (0.6 mi.). Update of the update: depth now estimated at 0.1 km - very shallow!5.9 on the Richter scale, Epicenter 87 miles south of Washington DC near Mineral VA., very shallow, only 3.7 miles deep. Damage likely to be more in Richmond and Charlottseville and area in between.
Buildings evacuated in Washington DC including the Pentagon, and they are not people in until buildings are inspected. We felt it in NJ for almost a minute. It was quite an amazing jolt. Some buildings in New York were evacuated. My friends in Kent State in Ohio felt it.
no reports yet on specific damage.
At about the same time there was a 5.3 earthquake with epicenter near Trinidad CO.

I just read that and LOL'ed myself, especially in light of the lousy service along the NEC all year.Amtrak's posting on thier FB page:
"Amtrak Train Service along Northeast Corridor Operating at
Reduced Speed due to Reported Earthquake"
FB users COMMENT: ( WARNING, I laughed VERY LOUDLY)

Apparently they're having aftershocks in CO.>At about the same time there was a 5.3 earthquake with epicenter near Trinidad CO.
Was there another one today? Last night one hit near Trinidad, CO "Trinidad, Colo.; Raton, N.M.; Colorado Springs, Colo.; and La Junta, Colo." were the hardest hit. Sounds like that covers the SWC AND the CZ. Seems like God really has it in for Amtrak this year. :giggle: Wonder how the SWC and the CZ have been affected? Can't make the Zephyr too much later...
