My building in Times Square shook pretty significantly for about 30 seconds. Long enough for us to be like "Um, are we shaking? Are we having an earthquake?!". By the time it was done, people in DC and elsewhere were tweeting and confirming it was, the first I've ever been in. We were told to leave the building for awhile but it was all pretty low-key.

I think it's funny West Coasters are laughing at the East Coast. Keep in mind that earthquakes happen here extremely rarely and are never felt, so I think it's understandable people were a little concerned. Seeing how SoCal does when it rains, I think we're even! Call us back after you have two feet of snow!
