Apart from that Mrs. Lincoln, How Was the Play

We just had an earthquake, in Maryland.

A little shaking, and nothing fell down.

According to the USGS, the preliminary number was 5.9 (!) on the Richter Scale, centered at 37.875°N, 77.908°W, near Mineral, VA.

The epicenter was about 250km (150 miles) from me, so it felt like a semi driving by here.

I'm glad that I've given up caffein, or I might not have noticed.
