A 5.9 magnitude earthquake in Virginia, jolted Washington, D.C. and New
York, sending people scrambling into the streets. The U.S. Pentagon , FBI
and DOJ buildings in Washington, were all evacuated. Secret Service agents
were seen swarming the roof of the White House, all believing it was a
terrorist attack.
The President was not in the White House at the time of the earthquake.
Obama was out playing golf in luxury Martha's Vineyard, in the face of
shaky economic times. It is being stated the quake was felt at Obama's
location as well. This is the first quake to hit the region in the past
100-years.
People in California have been laughing at and mocking the East Coast
today, for their fearful reaction to the quake, which is pretty brave
considering they're are sitting on a crack in the earth that could create
new beach front property at any moment (see: the Big One).
Side Bar: This is a personal request. Does anybody have any
footage of the FBI in DC hauling butt out of
the 100-year old agency's building when the quake struck. Just asking.
