The leaning tower of Washington?
but seriously, if you can feel the effects in orlando then even 5.9 must be fairly serious
but since when has there been quakes on that side of the US?

Apparently there was an earthquake in the Washington, D.C. area on July 16, 2010, when a 3.6 magnitude struck. |

It is rare to feel quakes in New York so I believe  USA Today says it was felt in Canada I guess quakes can happen anywhere but on a smaller scale in mot regions not associated with them. But like even Britain they can hit occasionally biggish.

ah, ok. I was home in Sydney when the 5.6 earthquake hit Newcastle, NSW which is about 165km (100 miles) from Sydney, and we didn't feel a thing

Earthquakes in oz are very rare, especially of that magnitude, but while Aussie humour makes fun of NZ much like England does Ireland... NZ is at least 1000 miles away so we don't feel anything that NZ gets, not that we don't fully support them when disaster hits.
When nature hits anywhere we all have to be supportive so I'm waiting to hear the falluout from this latest one. I hear that flights are on hold and all sorts of businesses are evacuated etc etc etc

True indeed!! My brother felt 3 in Wellington months back when they went over to visit his wife's family there. It was only a week or so after Christchurch  But these ones in Wellington were not connected & not that big. People who don't experience them very often tend to have a nervous laughter about it afterwards like in the UK. They make jokes about it afterwards but deep down it's nervousness
