Is there any damage in this DC quake?

In the nearby town of Culpeper, at least 1 building has collapsed, another was declared unsound and 4 were condemned. There are reports from the very small town of Mineral that the post office is gone, homes have moved off of their foundations and some brick houses have collapsed in the town of Louisa.

Sure is alot of commotion over it

That may be because nothing like this has occurred in most of these people's lifetime.

Peest...you’re responding to someone else’s post. See my post 1,035.

My niece was just telling me about Mineral. I just drove through all of that area last month (well, Centreville) while I was visiting family and friends there. My best friend, a DC area native who lives in Reston had never experienced a quake before today. She did not like it. :)
