z****g 发帖数: 3340 | 1 Update 3:02 p.m. ET: Amtrak is reporting service disruptions between
Washington and Baltimore because of the earthquake, the company reported on
Twitter.
Aftershocks are a concern, U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Lucy Jones
told CNN. "People should be expecting (them), especially over the next hour
or two," she said.
The quake was felt in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; New York City and on
Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, where President Barack Obama is
vacationing. It's unknown if the president felt the quake.
The Pentagon has been evacuated, CNN's Barbara Starr reports. "When the
building began shaking rather violently, hundreds of people began streaming
out," she said, because many people thought that the building was under
attack. Starr was standing in the Pentagon's press office when the roof
started to shake.
Cell phone service has been disrupted in New York City, CNN learned within
minutes of the quake. |
