Anyone on the east coast feel the 5.8 earthquake about an hour ago? They evacuated the Captiol building in DC and such, our building was evacuated too. I thought it was kinda cool, lol.

Damn, hope everybody is alright.

I always thought these earthquakes come from building underground cities. :D

A few miles SW of Quantico in a town called Mineral, VA.

They shut down the two closest nuclear power plants but no damage has been reported.

Now, everyone's excuse of not wanting to move to the west coast to escape earthquakes is null and void. FINALLY! :D
