The U.S. Geological Survey reported a 3.6 magnitude earthquake centered in Montgomery County at 5:04 a.m. Friday.

The epicenter was in Gaithersburg near I-270 and Route 124 (39.145°N, 77.222°W), USGS reported in a preliminary finding. Its depth was 3.1 miles.

Authorities in the District and Montgomery and Arlington counties said there were no early reports of damage. Still, many residents were dialing 911 to report the rumbling.

“We are getting flooded with calls,” a Montgomery County police spokesperson said.

Call 911?? Here in CA, we don't bother to get out of bed unless it's a five. ;D

Even a 5.0 can go relatively unnoticed here... :)

And would you believe this cross shaped building with radials and concentric circles is considered the epicenter?

Is that the North American "QUAKEHAARP" facility? ;D

This quake was caused by them capping the oil well. There will be more until they open it back up.

All of North America is doomed.

Get out your copy of The Road and read up on what it will be like.
