New York buildings felt the tremor of a 5.8 magnitude earthquake that struck near Richmond, Virginia yesterday afternoon. Workers at City Hall evacuated and court officers shepherded people out of the federal court house. Building supervisors at 20 West 22nd Street went office-to-office telling tenants to be prepared to evacuate in the event there were further tremors following the earthquake shortly after 2 p.m. “It was a pretty weird feeling,” said one office worker there. “I could feel the building sway, like the wind was blowing it.” The earthquake comes just two months after Real Estate Weekly exclusively reported that some experts were warning New York City was well overdue for the phenomenon.
