Even then, none of the statues where damaged around here. National Cathedrial had somethings fall off, so it's closed for awhile.
You guys who are used to earth quakes have to understand, we don't get them here. At least ones we can feel.
I know they are exagerating and making a big deal out of it, but maybe it will calm down. I like hearing all the details of what's going on. But you're right it shouldn't really be monopolizing national news. It's really more of a local story.
I'm OK with it getting national news. It was more than just a local thing if it was felt all the way into Canada. Besides, the east coast rarely gets an earthquake, and certainly not one of this size. Today is a new day and I'm sure something else has taken the earthquake's place on the national news.
I am very happy that there weren't any serious injuries and there was very little destruction from it.
