Interesting. Eight years living there, we never had one.
Now, last night we had a 5.6 or 5.8 here in Colorado about 20-30 miles SW of me. (I haven't checked the exact location).

Yeah, here's the one from last night... 5.3. Felt here in the Springs, happened in Trinidad (about 3 hour drive from here) and as far north as Greeley CO)

Rare Strong Earthquake Hits Colorado
By KIRK JOHNSON
Published: August 23, 2011
DENVER — The largest natural earthquake in Colorado in more than a century struck Monday night in the state’s southeast corner, but there had been no reports of damage or injuries.
The quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 5.3 and centered about nine miles from the city of Trinidad, hit at 11:46 p.m. local time. It was felt as far away as Greeley, about 350 miles north, and into Kansas and New Mexico, said Julie Dutton, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo.
Colorado, with its mix of mountains and plains, sits astride a seismically stable part of the nation where earthquakes are mostly mild and far between. But the area around Trinidad is regularly hit by tiny quakes as a result of a local fault zone, Ms. Dutton said.
She said that while Colorado has experienced several earthquakes close to Monday’s size in recent decades — a magnitude 5.3 near Denver in 1967 and a magnitude 5.7 in the state’s northwest corner in 1973 — both of those quakes were ultimately determined to have been caused by human activity, from explosives or drilling.
The last known natural event of comparable size was an earthquake in 1882 in what is now Rocky Mountain National Park, several hours northwest of Denver. That quake, based on historical reports, was about a magnitude 6.5, Ms. Dutton said.

Scratch that post of a 6.0, they've changed it again to a 5.9
I'm seeing where some people in SW Ohio have reported feeling something.
Come to think of it I may have felt it but didn't realize it (after my dog barked). There was a bit where it sounded and felt like a dump truck or other heavy driving down the road but I didn't think anything of it since there have been some tree service and dump trucks the last few days. In retrospect it is only odd because I looked at my security monitor and didn't see any trucks further up or down the street after it was over (only a couple seconds).
LOL! Word is the Washington Monument might be tilting.
What was this earthquake in Washington? Incredible.

Yep. Word is it was felt as far south as the Carolinas, as far north as Canada, and apparently as far west as SW Ohio (maybe further).
Fuck it, I'm going to start looting...
BRB, getting a new TV.
Is there an geological fault under the region of Washington D.C.?

I felt it here in North Jersey.
Felt like I was on a boat.

Lets see here.
Wars and Rumors of Wars....
Drought.
Famine.
Earthquakes.
What next? Blood red rivers (Oh wait, we had that in Alaska already).
How about locusts?
Frogs?

So far, reading various places, I've seen as far west as Toledo, as far north as upstate NY(Albany area), as far east as Boston although that was just one report, but certainly plenty of people in western long Island and as far south as Wilmington NC.

BRV, all you've wanted to know about faults east of the Rocky Mountains: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/topics/faults_east.php
USGS now changing the strength again back to 5.8.
Fault runs through Chesepeake area (Northern VA).
However (just downgraded to 5.8) this was actually at about 40 miles west of Richmond VA it appears to me from what I have seen.
I was out picking locks on someone's car for them, so I've missed the past 30 minutes.

Hopefully this doesn't shake the New Madrid loose!
We already have a locust. He's living in the White House with all his locust pals in the Democrat party.
