5.8 earthquake out of Richmond, it seems. My parents in Philly said it felt like a train flew past their house.

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/usc0005ild.phpI suggest (in the name of public service to science) that you guys who felt it should submit your report with the simple report form on that page. The USGS uses that data to refine their models.

Post-glacial rebound ... an effect of global warming! Over a scale of ~10,000 years:Unlikely for that area. That region of Virginia was unglaciated by the last 3 glacial periods. Quakes in ohio may be related to isostatic rebound, but that part of virginia was not compressed under ice. There is a kind of a downward bending effect that reaches down that far, but it's retty minor.
It was, however, an area that was part of the major structural upheaval related to the formation of the Appalacian mountains. It has a history of tectonic activity (although none very recently). But old faults do rupture sometimes.
