An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane. The location below the earth’s surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter.

Sometimes an earthquake has foreshocks. These are smaller earthquakes that happen in the same place as the larger earthquake that follows

If you liked that one, it was reported that it is uncommon to expect a few smaller quakes after this one in the next few days

My cousins felt it in Toronto, Canada. They live on the 53rd floor in their building, and said the lights were swaying back and forth.

W Washington D.C. - Live View from W Washington D.C.

A lot of people are saying they can see the 'lean' from the monument. However, the camera is angled

or maybe a trick of the light, because of the trees, and the street......It does look like it though....Why are the flag poles still straight up & down ?

LOL.

Must have been bad. Looks like the Jefferson Memorial could fall over at any minute as well.
