No Serious Damage in Vermont following Earthquake

http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/wamc/local-wamc-983206.mp3

Montpelier, VT – The east coast earthquake apparently caused no serious damage in Vermont. WAMC North Country Bureau Chief Pat Bradley has more...

Vermont Emergency Management Spokesman Mark Bosma says Tuesday's quake prompted numerous calls to that office.

The 5.9-magnitude quake, centered in Virginia, was felt at least as far north as Burlington, where the offices of seventh generation - maker of household cleaning products - were evacuated.

It was also felt in Brattleboro, where Assistant Town Clerk Jane Fletcher thought she was having a dizzy spell.

But Vermont Yankee Nuclear Plant Spokesman Larry Smith in Vernon says nothing was recorded by the plant's seismic monitor.
