I live in Williamsburg, about 45 minutes away.
Didn't feel a thing, though.

Richmond is an odd place. They won't kill the car tax.

Earthquake? It was probably just Michael Moore running to McDonald's.

Why report an earthquake when you have:
ELMO!

2.2 ? It's unlikely that you'll feel a 2.2 unless you're looking for it A truck driving by will shake you up more than that. IMHO and 50 years living California.

I was literally on top of 3.0 a few years ago.

Next town over felt nothing.

Come on, Left Coasters. We've had a "Big One" in 'Virginny.' Let us gloat for just a while.
To: sonsofliberty2000
Didn't feel it, but this makes the third since May 5, 2003. The other two were stronger than this one. The one on May 5, 2003 registered 3.9 and the one on December 9, 2003 registered 4.5. I felt the first, but not the second (I was driving).
Looks like Virginia might fall into the ocean......

Heard George Noorey mention this. Caller chimed in and said that there has been pranksters (as he called them) detonating small explosives over the past 3 weeks in the sewer system, and may have the cause..Typical coast-to-coast listener reaching for a conspiracy. ..lol
