A 5.9 magnitude earthquake that was centered in Richmond, Virginia and felt as far as New York City and New England.

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly reported at 2:30 pm that their bureau received information from a producer saying that a Captiol Hill Police officer says that the Washington Monument may actually be tilting as a result of the earthquake.

Seismologist John Rundle joined Kelly on her show and confirmed that the Washington Monument could very well be tilting as a result of the earthquake and the structure should be checked out.

Two nuclear reactors have reportedly been taken off line near the epicenter of the earthquake.

It was once malarial swamp land.

In a way, it still is.

The soil is almost as soft and marshy. May need megamovers to straighten it out again. Interesting challenge.

Unless you go 180deg, then it would be tilting right...all depends on your perspective.

No doubt obama will soon make a speech blaming the earthquake for our economic difficulties - and refer to it as the George W. Bush Fault.
