Earthquake

Now that I've had time to sit and think about today's earthquake, here's a quick recap of where I was and what I witnessed:

I was at work, talking to a co-worker about our upcoming fantasy football draft.  All of the sudden the floor started shaking, similar to when somebody is running down the hall.  I looked down the hall and saw nobody running.  I then heard the windows starting to rattle.  It felt like a low flying plane.  Our security manager came out of her office to ask what was going on.  I looked down the hall and saw people coming out of their offices with very curious or frightened looks on their faces.  I then said "I think we're having an earthquake!"  We all stood for another 15-20 seconds when things started to quiet down.  Right about then the fire alarm sounded, so we exited the building.

It was strange.  I had never experienced an earthquake before.  While it wasn't as strong as other parts of the area, it was definitely wild. 


When I got home, I found some pictures crooked and a few light items had fallen down or shifted.  Luckily I didn't notice any structural damage to the house.  We were lucky.
