The United States Geological Survey earthquake hazards program reported a small temblor near the Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland border Sunday afternoon.
USGS indicated the temblor, measuring 3.0 magnitude, was centered in the Loudoun Valley area, just south of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, shortly after 2 p.m. One NBC4 viewer in Jefferson County, West Virginia, said the tremors were “extremely quick.”
There are no reports of damage. The center was situated about 45 miles to the northwest of Washington, D.C.

Surprised we didn't hear/feel anything here like when it happened a few years ago. Wow. Snow and Earthquakes in the same day. Is someone trying to tell us something?
I heard every dish in my cabinets shaking and had to call my husband to check on him..... approximately 24 hours before the earthquake was even reported and documented. Could there have been tremors prior?
It was ghost telling you to try cooking something to put on the plates....
This earthquake was centered just below the Bolivar/Harpers Ferry WV area. The quick tremor was felt no more than a second or 2. It was described as a jolt, a bump. It was only felt just over 15mi from the center.
I thought all that shaking was Ireton having one of his "hissy fits".
10:18 is your house old? I grew up in The Plains, VA in a house built in the early 1800's. We were a 1/4 of a mile off the main road which was tar and chip and not much traffic. Any time someone would take a horse trailer down the road same thing would happen. It was attributed to "bouncy" floors.
