Earthquake

Just a tremor in our area, but I've just lived through my first major geologic event! Apparently there was a 5.9 magnitude earthquake in the DC area, felt all the way up in New York (or so the news says). The house and the bookcases rattled a bit. At first I thought it was insanely strong winds, but I looked outside and the trees were barely moving. Then I realized, "Oh, it must be an earthquake." So that was cool! And when I went downstairs to check on the cat, she just blinked at me and went back to sleep. On top of the clean laundry. Oh well
