Quake Shakes Central New York

If you felt the ground move around 2 this afternoon, you're not going crazy.  An earthquake, centered in Virginia was felt in Washington DC , Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York City and here in Central New York.  The quake hit about 40 miles from Richmond and caused evacuations at all government buildings in DC and control towers at JFK and Newark airports .

Listeners felt the shakes all over the area.  We asked if anyone else felt the tremor on our Facebook page and had a flurry or responses from Utica to Syracuse to Mohawk. So if you felt it, you weren't alone.
