It may not have been near the New Madrid fault, but given the range of eastern US quakes recently, I would not be surprised if something much more severe happens.
Am near Washington, DC. felt the 3.? near Gaithersburg not too long ago. Was lying in bed and felt it as a slight shudder. Then we had the recent 5.8 in Mineral, VA. Worst in region in over 100 years. Was sitting on the bed and the wall opposite started to shake, I looked up from my papers and it had stopped, but then in a few seconds started up again. I waited to hear an explosion, but when none came decided it was another much stronger earthquake. Friends in the city report minor chimney damage. One person reported seeing a whole row of rowhouses sway in a wave starting from closer to the Mineral end of the block down to the other end of the block. There was mild to moderate chimney damage in some of those houses.
Thanks glee’. Geeeettt reaaaady to rummmmmble!
