5.9 earthquake in VA this afternoon and I hope everyone in the area is safe. I haven't heard much report of damage or injury, for which I'm grateful. We felt it down here in NC but we're okay, despite being confused and unnerved; no one ever expects an earthquake on the East Coast! (Though of course it's not impossible.) Another sign of imminent apocalypse? A little early for the end of the world, Earth. Maybe it's a warm up for next year.

People from CA/other places that encounter earthquakes frequently who are taking the opportunity to gloat, talk about how smug they feel, or laugh at the East Coasters "trembling in fear", you are assholes. I'm sorry, I wasn't aware natural disasters (or people's reactions to them) were competitions.
