It would have been much stronger there because the epicenter was in Virginia. hence the evacuation.

Nope.
I felt the earthquake, got my zombie kit (12 gauge, dual glocks, crossbow, C4, tons of ammo, and food) and got in my zombie jeep....


Gotta be on your toes; don't want to be part of the problem.

actually the area of eastern Ontario/western Quebec/northern New York/Vermont etc is the 2nd most active area in North America in terms of earthquakes.

I'm in DC now. People evacuated a lot of buildings and some had falling masonry but nothing to bad. the main problems have just been that it's really fucked up public transport and the gridlock is crazy. cell phone service is also patchy. for the most part not that bad, just annoying.
