Earthquake in VirginiaYou don't hear about earthquakes striking the East Coast USA very often, but surprisingly there was a 5.9 in Virginia that was felt in places like Washington DC where they evacuated the Pentagon and the Capitol, as well as Philadephia, New York City and even Toronto. Based on reports so far, there were maybe a few cracked windows, but no injuries.
