Subject: D.C. rattled by area's largest recorded earthquake
Written By: Philip Eno on 07/16/10 at 6:01 am
WASHINGTON — The largest earthquake ever recorded within 30 miles of Washington, D.C., rattled the capital early Friday, waking many residents but causing no reported damage.
The quake hit at 5:04 a.m. ET with a magnitude of 3.6, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
It was centered near Rockville, Md., the USGS National Earthquake Information Center said.
NBC News reported that the quake was felt in the D.C.-area, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Amy Vaughn, a spokesperson for USGS, told WRC-TV that the quake was the largest recorded within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of Washington since a database was created in 1974.
The previous record within that time period was a 2.6 magnitude temblor in 1990.
"So this is pretty significant for your area," Vaughn told WRC-TV.

I heard about this. I should call my dad and ask him if he felt it.

I hadn't heard about it, but I hope everyone's ok over there.

The BBC have not reported on it.

Richter 3.6 is generally nothing to worry about. Quakes don't get terrifying until the high sixes.

Exactly. 3.6 is like a big truck driving by.
