CHESTERFIELD CO., Virginia

Multiple neighbors in Chesterfield are reporting they felt a shake on Friday evening. Though the USGS has not confirmed it was an earthquake, CBS 6 Meteorologist Julie Watkins said the event registered on some local seismographs.

"We also had a coworker that reported on, not only the ground shaking, but a loud boom, and that house kind of rocking back and forth. That is typical behavior for an earthquake," Watkins said.

CBS 6 asked our FB followers if they felt it. Dozens of neighbors in Chesterfield and South Richmond said that they did.

"Yes. Loud boom and then house shook. Off Beach Rd near Pocahontas State Park," Whitney Rogers wrote.

"Yes, in the Highlands," wrote Sandi Luckenbill Gattoline. "Definite strong shake lasting a few seconds."

"Near Manchester High School!!! Loud noise and the house shook," wrote AJ CasTell.

WICHITA, Kansas

An overnight train derailment in north Wichita is forcing NB drivers on I-135 to take another route.

At around midnight, Union Pacific says approximately 10 railcars derailed under the I-135 bridge in Wichita.

As of 9:00 a.m. Saturday, the NB lanes of I-135 closed from 21st St to EB K-96.

Early reports suggested the train derailment damaged multiple pillars under the road.

Wichita City Councilmember Joseph Shepard says 2 pillars on I-135 were damaged.

According to Union Pacific, no spills, hazardous materials, or injuries are involved.

Union Pacific says the incident is still under investigation, and it is working closely with the Kansas DOT to determine the next steps for bridge repairs.

A small preview

Several Asian and African nations have begun rationing fuel or adopting strict energy-saving measures due to severe supply shortages and surging prices, driven by disruptions to Middle East shipping lanes as a result of the Iran war.

Some of the key actions being taken include fuel quotas in SRI LANKA, four-day workweeks in the PHILIPPINES and PAKISTAN, and, in some cases, power outages in BANGLADESH.

The situation is showing no let up and is expected to get worse! As was the case with COVID-19 so shall it be with ENERGY! "Avoid unnecessary travel" could soon become the new norm.
