5.9 Quake in
Virginia - shallow (0.1km depth!) 88 miles from WA, DC and strongly felt in New York city.
Happened about an hour ago so no word yet as to damage.
UPDATE: Charlie Martin at

Earthquake Location Near Charlottesville VA
My theory is it was Thomas Jefferson and James Madison rolling over in their graves.
UPDATE: Downgraded to 5.8
