In a press briefing outside City Hall a short time ago, Mayor Nutter said that there had been no major problems reported as a result of the earthquake and that city workers should get back to work.

"It's ok for everyone to go back to your work locations. Virtually every city building is fine. Folks should go back to work," Nutter said.

Nutter said no major injuries or problems had been reported. He said the city was reaching out to private building owners to check for any issues. And he said that if anyone smelled gas fumes, they should call 3-1-1 or the Philadelphia Gas Works.

When the quake hit, Nutter was on his way to a press conference in West Philadelphia. He said he didn't feel the vibrations.
