A 3.4-magnitude earthquake rattled Mineral, Virginia, early Thursday, nine days after a 5.8-magnitude temblor in the same area shook up much of the eastern United States.
Thursday’s quake, which struck at 5:09 a.m., was centered four miles south-southeast of Mineral at a depth of about three miles, according to preliminary data from the U.S. Geological Survey.

3.4 “rattled”? I don’t think so. That’s 251 times weaker than the 5.8 quake. I doubt anyone felt it.
By the way, it wasn’t an earthquake. It was an aftershock!
