At 5:04 a.m.  an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.6, acording to the U.S. Geological Survey hit the DMV area. The Earth Quake was centered near Rockville, MD. It was felt in the D.C. -area, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Amy Vaughn, a spokesperson for the USGS said that that the Earth Quake was the largest recorded within 31 miles of Washington, DC since a database was created in 1974. The previous record was 2.6 back in 1990. (I slept through it)
