Possible Small Earthquake Shakes Near West End

Downtown ShortPump is reporting that the rumbling I heard in my house last night , around midnight, was likely an earthquake.  “What was THAT?” I said to my husband. I guess, the next thing I should have done, was turn to Twitter, but instead, I went to bed.   Here’s the lowdown from Trevor over at Downtown Shortpump:

Just after midnight, around 12:01 a.m. Tuesday morning, something shook Richmond’s West End. From Short Pump to Carytown and all points in between and beyond, we got reports into our Twitter account that something had shaken the ground. I felt it right here myself in Wyndham, too. I’ll take a personal approach on this story for once.

Just back from the scene of live wires that were downed on Pouncey Tract Road, I heard what sounded like a low rumble, similar to rolling thunder. At first, I thought another transformer had exploded down the street at the scene of the downed wires.

Trevor even has a A seismograph from the University of Richmond, check out the full post to see it.
