Twitter buzzing about earthquake in NYC

We just had an earthquake on the eastcoast (NYC), literally a minute ago, and Twitter is buzzing. Twitter was the first place I checked, to make sure I wasn't just imagining things or having a particularly bad hangover.

Goes to show the power of Twitter and realtime. I wonder if they'll go down.

Google says (it didn't take them long either) it was in Virginia, 5.9.
