Shaken Up
An earthquake--here?
300 miles away and we felt it hard.
I've never been in an earthquake before, so it's a bit of a big deal for me. I was at work at my temp job at a downtown University; my office is up on the 11th floor of a late 19th century building. I felt two jolts, separated by about a minute. By the time I had begun to think I was crazy and had imagined the sensation--like the outer wall and window were about to rupture and that the floor was tipping in that direction--the second one hit.
By then, everyone was in the hall comparing experiences and heading for the exits. Oh, yeah and Tweeting like mad...
I used to live in Charlottesville, and have driven through Louisa and Mineral any number of times. I didn't feel the aftershock this evening.
Weird, wild stuff.
