The earthquake on Tuesday was the largest in Virginia in the Washington area since May 31, 1897, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Reported damage from that quake was limited to “downed chimneys” and changes in the flow of spring water.

The epicenter of Tuesday’s earthquake was in Mineral, Va., roughly 84 miles from D.C. on an unnamed fault line.
