Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
An earthquake rattled Virginia’s capital on Wednesday night, felt as far north was Washington D.C.
The quake, which measured 3.2 on the Richter Scale, was significantly smaller than the quake in the same region 2 ½ years ago that caused the Washington Monument to be closed until last week.
Virginia officials say over 1,300 people in the region reported feeling the impact of the quake. Quake reports came in from as far away as Maryland and the District of Columbia. No major damage was reported and no one was injured.
Residents told the Washington Post the quake reminded them of a big truck driving past their home or a very powerful thunderstorm.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered only 7/10th of a mile underground about 30 miles west of Richmond.
