Okay, I knew I wasnt crazy when my monitor on my desk began shaking and the dog got all antsy. There WAS an earthquake centered in Virginia. It had an effect all the way here in MD.

Is this California, or what?

I just got a piece of this, and it wasnt the first time either. This one was centered outside of Richmond at a magnitude 4.5, so it was more of a curiosity and annoyance than a severe event. I think it was kinda cool, actually.

Several years ago there was a string of mini-quakes here. Tiny things that sounded like distant sonic booms or a gust of wind against a window. Most of these were centered just a few miles up the road from me. Seems there is some kind of solidified magma deposits making up a kind of fault line (I think they are call diabase dikes? Dunno. I'll let the geologists among us answer that. lol).

I think it's just Mother Earth being pissed.
