As you may have heard, the East Coast was rocked by a 5.9-magnitude earthquake today, generating much consternation, some property damage, and a lot of shaky videos. We've put some of the best of those videos below, starting with an ad taping for a Virginia auto shop that goes awry when the earthquake interrupts it. But take heart auto dealer guy, you weren't alone; in the next video, the quake interrupts a news conference on Dominique Strauss-Kahn's release. (More Dominique Strauss Kahn stories.)
