A 5.9 earthquake originated in Mineral, Virginia Tuesday afternoon according to theĀ U.S. Geological Survey.

Tweets began pouring in from D.C. nearly thirty seconds before we felt the quake at our headquarters in New York City or, for that matter, before any reports about the quake emerged from the media.
