As all of you probably know, an earthquake just happened in Washington, D.C. and all up along the East Coast. It has been measured as a 5.8 on the scale while originating in Richmond, Virginia. That's not an incredibly strong earthquake, but it's not a weak one either, and Washington D.C. doesn't traditionally get earthquakes of any kind.
This was evident in the reaction of Washington Redskins receiver Terrence Austin, who grew up in California and attended UCLA.

And while this is not an athlete, it's probably my favorite reaction of them all.
