earthquake strikes eastern america

A 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck Mineral, Virginia today which is the largest one in eastern coast. The earthquake lasted 45 seconds. People from Toronto to New York still could feel the seism.But no damage has been reported. The Pentagon, Capitol and White House were all evacuated.  Nowadays there are a lot of  earthquakes storms something like that. Why they happen that is mainly because human beings. We did a lot against the environment. Maybe these are retribution. We should protect the condition we live.
