5.9 Earthquake hits VA
A EARTHQUAKE HIT VIRGINIA!?!
The epicenter was like 30 miles from my old apartment. O.O
I haven't gotten a chance to talk to my sister, but my mother did and said she's ok...but...but earthquakes don't hit Virginia! Charleston, yes but Richmond? W.T.F. O_O
Edit: Just talked to my sister (cell phone coverage is sketchy right now) and she's fine. Luckily it wasn't so bad that stuff started falling down and breaking in her lab (she's a chemistry P.h.D. student) but the university had them evacuate the building until everything could be checked out. She's still at school, so she doesn't know if there was any damage to our apartment.
Just. what the hell? Hurricanes- been there, done that. Tornadoes are always a possibility...but, but not earthquakes.
Edit again: Ok, someone seriously needs to inform CNN and MSNBC that the closest major city to the earthquake was Richmond not NYC. Why are you interviewing random-ass New Yorkers? It was like a 2.0 in New York. I totally understand why D.C.'s getting so much coverage, since they're about an hour away from us.
Argh- Now CNN's covering Bloomberg's press conference...and they have yet to have any reports out of Richmond.
