Re: Earthquake
I read an article last night that mentioned that virginia is pretty much a hot spot in the area, and has had alot of quakes over the years, but nothing like this since something like the late 1800's or thereabouts.
there are alot of small ones that you don't really notice apparently. the usgs website is pretty cool for looking at these things.
it also mentioned that the quake epicenters are usually shallow on the east coast, and because of the way the earth is composed here, you feel it large distances away.

Re: Earthquake
I don't think we have the building codes that the west coast has and I know we have a lot of buildings that are really old, if a really big one hit NYC I think it would be a catastrophe.
And now we get a hurricane!
