Default Earthquake story.....

My wife and I are up in Virginia, and along with my sister were in DC today when this quake hit. We were touring the Newseum, and when the quake hit were in a 4D film, in seats that moved for the movie, and then we felt extra movement but thought it was part of the film! That's when the lights went out, and alarms started sounding and they started evacuating the buildings. No cell phone service was available, everyone was standing around trying to get a signal on their phones. All up and down the streets were covered with people from the buildings. The subway trains were running at a reduced speed of 15 miles per hour, so it took us awhile to get home. But we survived. We only found out what was causing all this from a man on the street, thank goodness it wasn't another terrorist attack! This was the highest recorded earthquake since 1897!
