5.9 Earthquake Felt in Twin Tiers
A 5.9 magnitude earthquake hit in Virginia at just before 2 o'clock this afternoon and it was felt, and felt hard, in the Twin Tiers.
We got calls immediately after the shaking stopped from all over Bradford and all over McKean County and beyond. Mayor Tom Riel says he was on the second floor of city hall, where pictures on the walls were swinging back and forth. Ralph Bottone of Limestone was sitting at his restaurant talking to a friend, and the friend's pickup truck and the building where Rafael's is located were all shaking.
The epicenter was in Mineral, Virginia, between Fredericksburg and Charlottsville.
At the WESB studios we felt the shaking for at least 10 seconds. What did you feel? Let us know here, or on our Facebook page.
