发帖数: 4485 | 3 Okay, I’m sitting on the upper east side of Manhattan and I just felt the
ground shake. And we’re getting reports that it was felt in Boston and
Akron, OH.
But the TV is saying that a 5.8 earthquake just hit Washington, D.C.
UPDATE: The quake has been upgraded to a 6.0.
The quake was centered in Charlottesville. The White House has been
evacuated. | O***C

发帖数: 4485 | 5 An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.8 struck near Washington, D.
C., the U.S.Geological Survey said.
The epicenter was in Virginia.
The quake was felt in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; New York City and on
Martha's Vineyard where President Barack Obama is vacationing. Cell phone
service has been disrupted in New York City where parts of Manhattan have
been evacuated.
"Everybody was told to take the stairs," Wolf Blitzer said, speaking live at
2 p.m. E.T. from CNN's D.C. bureau.
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.
Twitter traffic suggests the quake was felt all over the east coast.
In Philadelphia, HunterPence3 tweeted, "Wow Earthquake just shook the entire
locker room!"
In Cleveland, "tribeinsider" wrote "I'm no expert but i think we just had an
earthquake here."
And even in Toronto, tweets said that the shaking could be felt for minutes. |
