Office workers flood the streets at Mount Vernon Square in Northwest Washington on Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2011, following a 5.8-magnitude earthquake that hit the East Coast of the United States. The quake's epicenter was in Mineral, Va., east of Charlottesville, but the temblor could be felt along much of the Eastern Seaboard. (Andrew Harnik/The Washington Times)
