Earthquake country by allegra
It has been an exciting day out here in Virginia—I’m sure our “earthquake” was all over national news.
We had a 1.8—hold on, we’ve been upgraded—a 2.0 earthquake (!) early this afternoon. The epicenter was within a one mile radius of Matt’s parents’ house, though only their dogs could tell you what really happened.
So, native Californians (I don’t count myself in this case, as I barely remember the Whittier quake), can you even feel a seismic event of this size? According to a few locals, the answer is yes.

LOL! Wow, that’s funny that this “earthquake” is making such waves. 
I really don’t think you can feel one of that size - I think you need at least a 2.5 to feel it…. unless you happen to be right next to the epicenter or something. Sheesh, a 2.0 earthquake, they have those in the Bay Area several times a week!

Maybe that swampland of Washington D.C. conducts the shock waves better
