WHAT A QUAKE!

HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) - Connecticut residents have reported feeling an earthquake that hit the Washington D.C. area on Tuesday afternoon. The earthquake was 5.9 in magnitude and occurred just before 2 p.m., according to the United States Geological Survey. The earthquake was centered near Mineral, Va., about 87 miles from Washington, D.C. Residents in places like Stamford, New Haven, Milford, Windsor Locks, Hartford and Manchester all reported feeling the ground move after the earthquake struck in Virginia. One witness in New Haven said lights and props inside Long Wharf Theatre began to sway, and a witness in South Windsor said blinds shook as she watched television inside her home. Gov. Dannel Malloy issued a statement just after the quake and said, "The movement people in Connecticut felt was associated with the earthquake, which originated in Virginia. Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection staff is at the Emergency Operations Center as a precaution, but at this point, there have been no reports of injury or damage."



Best part of the earthquake? It prompted me to youtube "You Shook Me All Night Long" and found out the person who uploaded the video goes by the name of AnimalCrazedLover. And I feel like that's pretty much par for the course for all AC/DC fans, you know what I mean? Just a totally different breed of mammal.





P.S. I'm not gonna be the one making fun of everybody who posts/tweets about the earthquake like it was something to write home about. I'm gonna be the guy who takes a giant shit on the people who try to act all super cool and nonchalant like it wasn't a big deal and everyone is lame for talking about it. Hey dickhead, this is Connecticut, where a 3 car crash on 84 is breaking news. This aint Cali. A minor earthquake is a big fucking deal. Stop trying to be the baddest brah in the room.
