4.5 Magnitude Aftershock Shakes DC Region Overnight


A strong tremor hit early Thursday morning and was felt across the Washington region. The United States Geological Survey website reports the 4.5 magnitude quake was centered along Cross County Road near Mineral and Cuckoo, Va.

There were no initial reports of any damage. However hundreds of people from Northern Virginia and Maryland tweeted that they felt the early shake.

People are on edge following Tuesday’s 5.8 magnitude quake. That earthquake left significant damage in Culpeper County, VA. It also cracked the Washington Monument, forcing it to close indefinitely. The tremor damaged several spires at the Washington National Cathedral.

The USGS website said Thursday morning’s event is still being reviewed by seismologists.
