Most of the reports indicated weak to light shaking, with no damage been reported so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minor earthquake occurred near the epicenter of the 2011 Virginia earthquake, a magnitude 5.8 event that shook large parts of the East Coast. The 2011 quake caused damage to the Washington Monument in D.C. and was felt as far away as Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; and parts of Canada.
