Fortunately, earthquakes on the Eastern Shore are few and far between.
The following item is from GHOTES (Genealogy And History Of The Eastern Shore Of Virginia.. www.ghotes.net ):
"In 1886 there was an earthquake on the Eastern Shore. On August 25th all clocks stopped at 9:53pm. At Craddockville ornaments on mantles were knocked to the floor and broken."
Wow!! how strange is that!!! Thank you for sharing this with us :)
