I think the 12z GFS showed the earthquake a few days ago, but lost it. The 0z ETA had it as a 5.2, but it always overestimates RSS (Richter Scale Severity).

Alexandria felt nothing, but my wife in Fredericksburg said it sounded like a train in the distance and things shook a bit. No big deal there.
