It's a logarithmic scale. 7.0 is ten times more powerful than 6.0
which is 10 times more powerful than a 5.0, etc..

If you paste those into Google Maps, it will show the exact location,

there is an earthquake plugin for Google Earth that shows you the USGS feed.
The quake was centered next to a farm near Mineral, VA. (a few miles north
of Royal Virginia Golf Club, if anyone knows that course). I am familiar

Read it was also because the ground is more 'solid' - not broken up
by faults - so it 'conducts' the vibration better.

My best guess, lasted about 30 seconds here. I know those on the west
