A shuddering 6.0 magnitude earthquake shook the East coast to its core about an hour ago. Reports of ground tremors and buildings swaying first filtered onto social networking website Twitter.com, followed immediately by Breaking news reports on the network and local news.
Tremors were felt in Washington DC, Chapel Hill, N.C., Virginia, and as far away as New York City and New Jersey. The White House, parts of the Pentagon and other government buildings were evacuated. Many New Yorkers, still wary 10 years after 9/11, poured out of office buildings and into the streets as tremors caused buildings to sway. Office workers were advised to go home and many business closed for the day.
