In 1884 or 110 years ago New York state had its last quake and in February a seismologist predicted an earthquake would shake NY soon.

But today the Virginia area felt a 5.8 quake, the first since 1897 that was felt as far as NY and Washington DC.

First East Coast shake since 1944

Usual earthquake trivia - the farther away you are from a shake the closer you are to the next one! Every hundred years.

Oh joy....
