Near Dillwyn
Buckingham County, Virginia
Shortly after 1:00 PM Tuesday afternoon reports of a small earthquake began coming in across the area. A neighbor of ours here in Roseland texted me. I was in nearby Nellysford in my truck so we didn’t feel anything. “At first I thought it was a loud truck or some sort of rumbling,” Andrea Berkshire messaged me. Within minutes Facebook reports from across the county and region started coming in.
The quake is a reminder of the much larger 5.9 magnitude earthquake that hit on August 23, 2011 that was centered in Mineral, Virginia of Louisa County. That quake was felt all along the eastern seaboard from New York to the Carolinas.
We’ll update this story as more details come in.
