An earthquake sent tremors from the nation’s capital to New York City and New England Tuesday afternoon, the result of what officials said was a 5.9 magnitude earthquake based in Virginia. Here in New York City, buildings were evacuated in some cases. We felt the walls shaking at We Love Soaps headquarters. Soaps were pre-empted on local TV (of course). Soap stars immediately reacted o the quake on Twitter. Here's a sampling:
tinasloan (Tina Sloan): I felt it and the woman I was sitting with didnt ...but I had been in the bad LA earthquake so I knew what it was

Did you feel the earthquake where you live?
I know why we had the earthquake! Mother Nature just found out about ABC's cancellation of AMC & OLTL! As we all know, it's not nice to upset Mother Nature!
