The last time it happened, I didn't feel it. This time it happened I still didn't feel it. I am sooooooo involved in my work that I'm so oblivious.

Definitely felt it here in West Mifflin. Looked like a bunch of gophers with everyone popping their heads up out of their cubicles. My chair, with me in it, actually moved a little.

My building was evacuated. I'm near the Convention Center downtown. My jacket on the back of my door start swaying as did the tea in my cup. Strangest sensation ever. I felt like I do when my equilibrium is off.

Yeah, and can you imagine that feeling magnified 10 or 20 fold and going on for over 5 minutes? Poor people in Japan had to endure that earlier this year.

Colorado/New Mexico border had a pretty big one this AM too.

Maybe that boulder on 28 was just getting out of dodge early this AM when it decided to mess up the commute.
