Cell phone networks are jammed in Manhattan, Washington D.C., and other areas affected by a magnitude 5.8 earthquake that struck central Virginia at 1:53 pm Eastern time.
So far, according to Twitter users, cell phone networks are down in parts of Manhattan and D.C. Landlines appear fine for now.

The two-reactor North Anna nuclear power plant in Virginia automatically shut down following a 5.8 magnitude earthquake this afternoon.
The two reactors both automatically shut down safely, Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesperson Elizabeth Stuckle confirmed. North Anna is the closest plant to the epicenter of the earthquake.
Four diesel generators automatically came on to power the plant and are working well, Stuckle said.

Virginia Nuclear Plant Loses Power After Quake
A nuclear power plant in central Virginia has lost offsite power in the wake of a 5.9 earthquake centered northwest of Richmond, Va., U.S. nuclear officials said.
The North Anna Power Station, which has two nuclear reactors, is now using four diesel generators to maintain cooling operations. The plant automatically shut down in the wake of the earthquake.
"As far as we know, everything is safe," said Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman David McIntyre.
There are seven additional nuclear plants that have declared unusual events, which is the lowest of four emergency situations, the NRC said.
Those plants are located in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in Maryland, the closest nuclear plant to Washington, D.C., remained stable at 100% of capacity, a spokesman for Constellation Energy Nuclear Group LLC said Tuesday.
The Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant is in Lusby, Md., along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay about 50 miles from the city limits of the nation's capital. Constellation spokesman Mark Sullivan said that as part of normal procedure, employees were performing increased observations and instrumentation monitoring.
Mr. Sullivan said the company's nuclear plants in Scriba, N.Y., and Ontario, N.Y., were performing similar examinations although neither plant registered abnormal seismic activity.
Meanwhile, at the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant north of New York City, officials said some minor shaking was felt, but the facility is still online and operating at full power.
"No damage has been seen on site. Minor shaking was felt in some areas of the site. Site staff has been conducting 'walk-downs' to inspect equipment,'' said James Steets, a spokesman for Entergy, which runs Indian Point.
