The Record


A 5.8 earthquake in Virginia has been felt Tuesday afternoon in Washington, New York City and North Carolina.

The Bergen County courthouse shook violently enough for people inside to evacuate. The federal courthouse in Newark also shook, although there were no reports of evacuations there.

The earthquake was reported in Virginia, about 87 miles southwest from Washington, D.C., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The Pentagon is being evacuated, according to a report.

Buildings in New York City shook briefly Tuesday afternoon. Government buildings in the city, including City Hall, were evacuated. The 26-story federal courthouse in lower Manhattan began swaying and hundreds of people were seen leaving the building. Court officers weren't letting people back in.

After all the rain this week, I'm going with a sequential meteorological theme:


1-2.  Sunday 8/14 - night ground reflections after the day's rain

3-7.  Monday 8/15 - clouds rolled in, it POURED, cool clouds after it cleared

8-10.  Tuesday 8/16 - cool clouds continued: over NYC, at sunset, and into the night
