ABC just started a special report.
My first thought was to call BIL who lives in Virginia and works in DC, then I realized he is on vacation in CA this week.

That was extremely trippy. The floor was bouncing and swaying.
I'm still a bit freaked. Thank goodness there was no boom sound, otherwise there would have been a stampede.

27. When I got down they said all is well with the building. But I'm still like really? You checked the entire building in 10 minutes??
Faq that! Can you go home early? I wouldn't wanna be up there..........could be all kinds of structural damage. :hides:
