5.8 earthquake hits in Mineral, Virginia – felt in DC, New York, and Martha’s Vineyard

american-flag1Today’s earthquake in Washington D.C. was just the foreshock. The “big one” will hit on November 6th, 2012 when Obama gets tossed out on his ear! Usually, moderate to strong earthquakes like the 5.8 quake that hit Mineral, Virginia is reserved for California.  Last night Michelle Malkin tweeted about a 5.5 quake in Colorado Springs which was odd. But a 5.8 quake on the east coast of the United States? The quake’s epicenter was in Mineral, Virginia. That’s almost unheard of. So far there’s only been reports of minor damage. Thankfully no reports of injuries or death. No word yet if the quake happened on Bush’s fault.

Here’s a video from New York when the earthquake hit during the DSK press briefing.

There’s even been reports of the quake being felt in Toronto, Canada, which is about 559 miles away from D.C. Seems a bit far fetched for a quake of that size, but who knows.
