Thanks for the not-so-reassurance. I saw some shots of the Louisa/Mineral area. Since this is the east coast, buildings here are not built for earthquakes. It looks like Louisa High School is structurally compromised, and I assume Louisa Middle, where I once taught, is likewise (built at the same time, right next door to each other). The aisles of the Food Lion in Louisa are a wreck. I would hope the North Anna reactors are built to a higher standard. I'm a bit concerned, I still have friends in that county. It looks a mess.

This was the strongest earthquake on the east coast in a century, and of course it happens right under some nukes. We might also get a hurricane this weekend. Disaster central.
