Well, THAT Was Different!

Did you feel the earthquake today?  I had just got up and was talking to a co-worker when I heard a noise that sounded like someone walking in the drop ceiling.  Then I began feeling like I was losing my balance; it was few seconds before we realized that the building was moving -- very disorienting!  I was wearing a pair of MBT shoes -- they have soles that kind of rock and it was only my second day wearing them -- and at first I was blaming the shoes for making me feel off-balance, but not so!  The building was evacuated for a brief time, maybe 15 minutes, until it was determined that there was no damage.  We're a good ways away from the epicenter; hope you guys in northern VA are okay!

We felt it in NH. It was very weird and we all came out of our offices saying "what was that?" I can't believe we could feel an earthquake from Virginia in NH. crazy
