damage reported. i can just tell you this is a city that is spooked. scott macfaland. >> you said you were sprinting but was it orderly or was it any panic? >> it was orderly, i credit that to the fact that there's so much police in washington, d.c. there's u.s. capital police, secret service, federal protection service, and they have crews outside. they were seen, they were visible and they were relaying information. but there was a sense of relief when we found out this was an earthquake. so close to the 9/11 anniversary, when you feel the ground shaking beneath your feet, you fear the worse. >> has there been any serious aftershocks since that earthquake. >> reporter: two of them reporting. i think the biggest story that developed is that none of us could use our cell phones or use e-mail. couldn't contact loved ones easily. it's difficult because we work but we also live here our homes are near by, our spouses are

near by. also makes you wonder what happened in a larger emergency with no ability to communicate. >> reporter: the capital is now reopened. what about other buildings and trains and subway service there? is that back on now and are things getting back to normal now? >> not yet for commuters. the metro system, the subway system that's a little more used than b.a.r.t. but similar to b.a.r.t. that's still paralyzed moving as what they describe walking speeds. the aboveground speeds are stalled as well. the commute finally cleared but it was like a parking lot during rush hour. you couldn't go back into the buildings because they were evacuated and you couldn't go home. >> thank you very much, scott mcfarlane. the earthquake also raised concern at airports across washington, d.c. airports in washington, philadelphia and
