Wow, just got home. Working a block away from the Capitol, that gave everyone quite a scare.
We were in the middle of a national meeting (probably 50 or so ppl on the phone) on one of the higher floors of our building when it hit. How much everything shook combined with being so close to the Capitol and the evacuation alarm going off, there were far worse fears among everyone than just an earthquake.
After evacuating, we weren't allowed back inside as some walls were badly cracked and parts of the roof were falling apart. Everyone on our team is safe but waiting outside, there were a good deal of helicopters, firetrucks and ambulances speeding around.

But seriously...candlelight vigil for Nonny tonight.
no it doesn't. Sheez.
Seriously, if it's a 5.9 at its epicenter, it should've been significantly less in DC. And while I know DC is not California and does not build its stuff for earthquakes (especially when they built the monument or the Cathedral), you would think that the bastion of government efficiency would want to take such things into consideration for their buildings, even if it involves retrofitting them.
Bet they do now.
Yea, I'm seriously doubting reports of the monument leaning. I mean, it could be, but no still picture like that is going to provide proof.
I would be curious to know what the exact magnitude was when it reached DC. I know it still had some power, but how much?

The National Weather Service says no tsunami was expected after the quake.
