WRAL:
RALEIGH, N.C. — A small earthquake that started in Virginia was felt by several counties in the WRAL viewing area.
Officials say at 3:59 p.m. Tuesday, an earthquake measuring 4.5 magnitude was reported.
Its epicenter was 30 miles west of Richmond. There is no word on the length of the tremors.
Myself and some coworkers felt it here in the DC area. Aparently it’s big news on the AM news/traffic/talk stations, but no big deal on The Richter Scale.
