WASHINGTON - A 5.8 magnitude earthquake centered northwest of Richmond, Va., shook much of Washington, D.C., and was felt as far north as Rhode Island and New York City.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake was 3.7 miles deep. Shaking was felt at the White House and all over the East Coast, as far south as Chapel Hill, N.C. Parts of the Pentagon, White House and Capitol were evacuated. The quake was in Mineral, Va., in Louisa County.

Multiple shaking in disparate parts of the country. This also happened in areas that have no serious geological structures that indicate that kind of activity.

I don't know if this is related to each other or not. I do know that these two quakes do not share similarities with each other, and are both very out-of-the-ordinary geologic activity.
