The USGS confirms a 5.8 earthquake near Mineral, VA.  This quake has rattled several East Coast states and has prompted evacuations of the Capitol and the Pentagon.

FOX Capitol Hill Producer Chad Pergram experienced the quake first-hand:

Capitol rumbling seemed to come in 2 waves. Shook first for about 5 seconds. Then intensified…shaking the entire Capitol. Longest shake was probably close to 30 seconds.  Chandliers swinging in Capitol. Some small art off walls.
