We felt nothing, but the local news is reporting it was felt in their building

My cube neighbor points out tiny tremors to me sometimes, that I don't even detect.

This one was weird. Cube walls shaking. Chair felt like one of those crazy exercise chairs (albeit set on low.)

Hope everyone is OK.

glatt?

Yeah, check in.

I bet you're right, had to leave the building, by the stairs.

nope. didn't feel it.

as often happens, I learned of this newsworthy event from the cellar before I heard about it from other media. I do have the radio on tuned to the news, but it broke here first for me. cnn.com is CRUSHED for this story. (the link to the story, not their building. do not panic).

hope you're all ok!

Yeah, I thought he lived in VA, worked in DC. ANd Happy Monkey does both in DC. But they're saying DC felt it pretty strong, and some spires on the National Cathedral were damaged.
