An earthquake struck Virginia and rattled Maryland Tuesday afternoon. At approximately 1:55 p.m., the quake began, caused by what researchers say is the breaking and shifting of subterranean rock. Tremors extended as far as Boston, according to the Boston Globe, and Cleveland, according to the Associated Press. Here's what people in Elkridge had to say on Twitter.
