jq26 862 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 About 1/3 of the country felt it because it was very shallow. I'm in the Philadelphia burbs. We felt a good jolt. My colleagues in NYC and in central Jersey also felt it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldbug 110 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 The North Anna (nuclear) Power Plant is located near the epicenter of the quake, on a fault line, like a lot of nuclear plants. No damage reported, but a possible hurricane is on it's way. Two reactors at North Anna were shut down and went on back-up diesel generators. Search "Fukushima nuclear disaster" to see what could happen if a nuclear plant melts down, note the similarities to the DC quake.Japan Confirms Complete Core Nuclear Meltdown In 3 Fukushima Reactors :Also, no aftershock has been reported. If this is a foreshock, the worst is yet to come! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
