Loving all the ;) 's … LOL
 
I just saw it online with no further info......I immediately thought check CW!!!! Who needs any other news source?!?
Seriously, I hope everyone is okay on the east coast.
 
Not to sound trite but I will say a prayer that everyone is safe! I worry about all you peeps!
 
Go somewhere safe. I've been in a earthquake and it's scary as hell.
 
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.

Only two of us were in the office. I'm on the second floor. The other employee didn't feel it, but she is closer to the center of the building. I'm in a perimeter office.

no one here said they felt anything but 2 just recalled the lights flickered about 15 minutes ago......
 
i just saw report that it was felt in MI and OH so you may actually have felt something JRL
 
glad you're safe
 
Tazzy what floor are you on?
 
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.
