Earthquake in New York City Evacuates Apple Store on Fifth Avenue [Photo]

apple store evacuated

“Did you feel that?” That was the question many were asking on the east coast a couple of hours ago. A 5.8-magnitude earthquake sent tremors through New York and the New England area this afternoon, with the epicenter located in Virginia.

9to5Mac has obtained a photo of Apple’s evacuated flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Once the quake hit, Apple employees and customers were evacuated to Central Park while the store was checked for damages.

Hopefully no one was harmed during today’s earthquake. Stay safe out there, folks.

    Why would a “genius” be wasting time on a gadget instead of actually interacting with REAL HUMANS beside him/her that are more than likely stressed about the situation? HELLO!
