Quakemetrics ~ BC's New England Seismometer

Magnitude 5.9 earthquake today Tuesday afternoon, 23 August 2011, epicentered in central Virginia. See more at NYTimes, USGS Quakemap, and BC's Weston Observatory seismometrics... P.S. Growing up in Silly Valley, CA I feared the Big One (that's still to come). Living here in the Hub of the Universe, I'm now far more afraid of the Category 5 hurricane that's going to barrel up the East Coast, probably this season...
