I’m seeing that a 5.8 earthquake was felt from Boston to Virginia this afternoon. Here in my undisclosed location north of the Bronx I didn’t feel tremors at all. Now I see the epicenter was northwest of Richmond. Just minor damage, I suspect.
There was another earthquake in Colorado last night. If I were superstitious I’d be nervous.
Update: Oh, please … the terminally useless Jim Hoft posts the headline —
Earthquake Rattles Washington DC – Obama Goes Biking
There are no reports of structural damage in D.C. I understand some people living near the epicenter suffered broken china. Next … Obama’s Katrina?
Update: Who was first to blame Obama? It might have been Kos diarist.
Righties can’t decide is the President was too busy golfing or biking to stop the earthquake. Hey, if he can stop earthquakes, why can’t he golf and bike at the same time?
Update: Great earthquake tweets.
Update: Stunning photos of earthquake damage! Oh, the humanity …
Update: Spotted on Facebook — this afternoon Republican congressional leaders announced that the Virginia seismic region will be renamed “Obama’s Fault.”
