BREAKING NEWS!! President Obama has just confirmed that the DC earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure fault-line, apparently known as "Bush's Fault". Obama also announced that the Secret Service and Maxine Waters continue an investigation of the quake's suspicious ties to the Tea Party. Conservatives however have proven that it was caused by the founding fathers rolling over in their graves.

I actually had a warning but didnt know it, about 5 minutes before it hit here my dog started barking and running around the house, then she went and hid. My dog had never done this before. I got up to go and check on her and that is when it hit here.
It actually made me feel sick to my stomach, they said an earthquake of this magnitude hadn't hit here since the 1800's
Figures had to happen now...... scared everyone in my town here. We lost both our cell phones and land phones for over 2 hours. My hubby and I are volunteer firefighters and EMTs and I just couldn't believe how just a tremor could cripple our little city.

The earthquake was caused by natural tectonic activity along a fault line in the Earth's crust.
The earthquake was measured at a magnitude of 3.9 on the Richter scale, which is considered a minor earthquake.
There were no reports of significant damages or injuries caused by the earthquake.
Earthquakes in New York City are rare, but not unheard of. The last significant earthquake in the area was in 2011 with a magnitude of 5.8.
It is always important to be prepared for natural disasters. Make sure to have an emergency plan in place and keep a supply of non-perishable food, water, and other essentials on hand. Also, secure any heavy objects in your home that could potentially fall during an earthquake.
