Mayor Gray thought earthquake was a car problem

None of us suspected an earthquake right at first yesterday, the Mayor included.  TBD reports Mayor Gray was in a car traveling from the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial back to his office at the Wilson Building when the earthquake hit at about 1:51 p.m.


He reportedly asked his associates "What the heck's wrong with the car?"

They then turned on the radio and found out it was an earthquake, and the Mayor sprung into action.
